Uluru and Aboriginal Culture - Uluru (Ayers Rock) Australia The area around Uluru was settled thousands of years ago, and although it was ‘discovered’ by the white man in the 1800s, Uluru and Aboriginal culture are very much entwined today.

I stumbled across a video today that I feel perfectly captures the issues associated with young people and social media usage.
