FaceBook

Which came first? After checking out so many different sites, which all offer the same social experience, I wonder which one was the first to start this new trend. Where will the future take us now? Regardless of where the future takes us, it will be better than where we have been.

OverDrive Audio Options

OverDrive is an interesting way to listen to an audio-book. I do like the option to burn a cd when allowed. More and more I find myself getting further away from the printed format. Truly a sign of the times.

Podcasting to catch a language

Podcasts are an excellent way to learn another language. They provide to the learner an example of how the words are pronounced and enables the learner to repeat as often as needed to perfect their understand and ability to speak clearly. Check out the link below and see for yourself how well this podcast can enable you to learn.

Out Of Nowhere

This video clip says so much more than words could ever express. Aside from showing anyone who views the video the difficulty there is in playing guitar, this video format can be used to educate in a number of ways. Since our youth of today don't read, a video clip might actually teach them something without them realizing it.

Assignment 19

Well, I looked at Facebook for assignment 19 and I really wasn't impressed. It has limited features and really strikes me as a waste of time. I get my e-mail from other sources and as far as finding people on the Internet, there are many other ways to accomplish that task.
My time is very valuable and I would prefer a one stop shopping type of Internet site. One place where I can do everything I need to do for work as well as play. Yes, I am demanding and will not settle for less than perfection. I think I will not need to wait long before such a place exists.

Now

I know why today's

kids

aren't getting any

exercise

. They are

spending

all of their time keeping up with all the changes on the

Internet.

This site is remarkable with all the features it offers. I can remember thinking that this type of functionality was needed back in 1992, but I

didn't

have the vision to create it myself

Wikis

Wikis are an interesting way for people to share their thoughts, feelings, and knowledge in a format which is designed to let them choose what they want to say, how they want to say it, and when they choose to say it. It's better than standing on the corner with your friends sharing your thoughts if you live in the northeast during the winter months.

Rollyo one from me.

Very, very, cool tool. Check it out below.
