One of the biggest features of my
current job is that spend a considerable amount of time on the internet
researching stories and writing about technology based news which affects the
investment capital or general investment industry. On average I spend 8 hours a
day one the net.
But just because I write about a
seemingly boring topic doesn’t mean that I am not subjected to other
interesting pieces news/information that the internet offers. In fact…has
anyone ever stopped to think about what we are actually exposing ourselves to
on the internet?
It has most definitely changed the
world. Since the dawn of the new millennium there has been a steady flow of
users towards being connected to the internet. so much so that we live our
lives through it. This has become a major selling point and was the motivation
behind Google Street View.
Now Google Street view is a product
designed by Google which gives you a first person view of a particular street
in the world. Google achieved this by getting Google cars to drive around with
cameras on them getting live feeds.
Most of this is done during the day
where there is good light..blah blah..blah blah..blah blah. So one would assume
that the view that the street car would get would be pretty harmless (provided
its during the week that is). Well it is unless you live in Liverpool or the
Australian Outback.
A recent drive down the back streets
of scousetown revealed a man standing around a corner getting a hand job by a
lady of the night (or middle of the day in this case) who is standing a bit
away from the man in order to see that they cant be seen by no coppers. What
she didn’t account for is the fact that she can only see in front of her and
couldn’t see the car coming up behind her. ONLY IN LIVERPOOL MATE. ONLY IN
LIVERPOOL. The Aussies took this one step further, a recent trip by a Google
street car revealed a couple on an outback road pulling over and having
intercourse over the bonnet of the car. The best thing is…the girl doesn’t try
to hide her face away…she waves at the camera!
This doesn’t mean that there are
only bad things on the internet. There are also some great sources on
information and entertainment on the net. One of the best websites that I have
come across lately is Buzzfeed, which is a comedic satire on everyday life
reflecting on weird ass lists. It’s a
great read but highly addictive.
Below are some of the sites a spend
a lot of time on and I consider worthwhile visiting.
www.cnet.com
this is one of the best technology based news websites in the world
www.thehuffingtonpost.com this is
one of the best general news sites around and is owned by Fox Entertainment so
is quality.
www.buzzfeed.com
for reasons discussed above.
www.sport24.co.za
this is a great sports website for South African sports fans locally and
abroad.
www.facebook.com
for obvious reasons. Zynga poker is great.
www.freeonlinegames.com a great
website for free games and Real Time Pool is highly recommended
It would be great to hear your
sites. Let me know and I can visit them and include them in a more in depth
review.
Mei jua daima kuwa kabla yenu, na
vivuli nyuma yako!
