Did You Know?

Posted on November 14, 2008 by Gandalfe

Fantastic video on the progression of information technology, researched by Karl Fisch, Scott McLeod, and Jeff Bronman.

I probably pointed to this over a year ago, but the stats keep growing. For the most part this is for my children and grandkids. The world is their oyster. It boggles my mind. I so enjoy the fruits of being able to access and befriend the whole world, but it is soooo large.

One of tricks I use to manage my friends on Facebook MySpace, and of course, Window’s Live is to periodically delete the inactive profiles of my friend lists. I try to keep my favoritest peoples and delete with abandon those who’s company, comments, or lack of comments I don’t appreciate. It isn’t about have the most friends; it’s about have the bestest friends. Be well.

    We are planning an extraordinary weekend. The new Bond movie tonight, breakfast with the ‘rental units (parents) on Saturday, and the Bellevue Symphonie with lots of our friends playing on Sunday. :o)

    I liked this! Just this week I was thinking "what the hell did we do before Google?" My son in FL was not near a computer and needed information NOW….happened to catch me at home and I was able to get it for him in a few seconds. Which got me thinking how did we survive before instant access to information? I will be sending this video out to my family and friends…thanks for the good info and enjoy the weekend, sounds like you have a good one planned.
