As we approach the Fourth of July, a time synonymous with fireworks and parades, it’s fascinating to consider how technology has transformed our traditional celebrations. From live-streaming fireworks displays to interactive apps that guide us to the best viewing spots, technology enhances our patriotic experiences in ways we might not even realize. In Memphis, for instance, the excitement of the holiday is not just in the fireworks lighting up the skyline but also in the community engagement fostered through digital platforms.
