Brain "Damage"



Brain activity from Internet search

Functional MRI brain scans show how searching the Internet dramatically engages brain neural networks (in red). The image on the left displays brain activity while reading a book; the image on the right displays activity while engaging in an Internet search.

As if my brain wasn't über hyper active enough as it was. I can't say I am shocked to find that internet searches increase the activity in our brains. It doesn't take a genius to figure all that out. All the same, I digg images of the brain. :-)

Internet Speed

Internet Fast Lanes



I am all for speed. My tolerance for long uploading times is zero, nix, nada, 0.000(infinite number of 0), I have absolutely no tolerance and I completely lose it if I am challenged in this area.

Not only are the broadband providers lying about the maximum speed, but they also give us painful instabilities in the performance (of the too highly estimated speed). Sometimes to such a degree that I'm on the verge of suicide because of it.

I think I'm going to have an heart attack now, for just writing about this.


Still Too Slow!

World Wide Web

Privacy, Please!





Sir Tim Berner-Lee created a map as a way of depicting the growth of the internet and the web. It shows a few streams feeding into a small lake marked "internet", and from there into a bigger lake marked "World Wide Web". The web river then meanders through a green and fertile land land before flowing into the "Sea of Interoperability."


Sir Tim Berners-Lee has fears over the future of the internet. The creator of the web has said consumers need to be protected against systems which can track their activity on the internet.

I couldn't agree more!







I think this map deserves a post over at Strange Maps, don't you agree BumApples? :-)
