Google!
These google people are seriously, slowly taking over the world!
How many people are now on gmail??? And some how we are almost at 2.7 Gb of space!
So many people have switched to google for searching online (do you even remember what you used before?? how long ago was that???!!!)
This is a good thing since it brings in A LOT of innovation, there are a lot of partnerships being formed
The scariest is how there are 10 yr olds who are using the internet as much as, if not more, then we are! But at the same time, that is the reality for us, there is still a large digital divide (shortening by such projects as the $100 laptop) & there is regulation of the internet in some countries
In other news, Olympics are pretty exciting, mostly because of the competitive nature of them. The US is not doing as well as they hoped, which is good in a way since it means other countires are getting stronger, but also shows that we are investing a lot of money into these programs when there are other programs that need the money more.
In Basketball, NBA, the All Star game is this weekend, pretty excited about it since a lot of talented players signed up for the Saturday events (except for the dunk competition), the Raptors are definately exceeding expectations, but still not doing great. In College Basketball Duke may be ranked #1 again. Less then a month away until tournament time (one of the best times of the year!)
In boxing (yes, boxing!) there is this new 7 foot guy who's like 300 pounds, but is actually pretty good, who is making his way up to being a serious threat. Typically, such boxer did not do well, despite some advantages, but he may be different
There was this movie on the other day (I have Rogers On Demand) The Butterfly Effect, & I still remember the first time I saw it, it was VERY sad that the best thing for someone else is if you weren't in their life, I would definately recommend watching that or Memento. For documentary fans, I would recommend watching The Corporation, Yes Men, Outfoxed, or something by Roger Moore (although I don't necessary agree with all of them, and am VERY pro US & pro Corporation, I am open to the other view, & you should be too, so watch them!!!)
AIESEC is going well, for those of you in it you'll see. And I really have to get back to studying!!!
