You have two cows - the Internet takeoff
Filed Under Read this! | 2 Comments
You are probably familiar with the “Cows and Governments” peice, where all kinds of governments are compared to one another by using two cows for comparison. Well, this is my takeoff on this aiming at the Web 2.0 sites and the Internet sphere.
Google: You have two cows. One is sponored and the other is irrelevant.
Useless and semi helpful information sites

There is no quiestion about the fact that the Internet is extremely useful and it holds so much valuable information that one can never go through it all. But the Internet is good for many other things, like fun and spending your time doing nothing important. Doing nothing on the Internet is my favorite activity in my leisure, so I gathered up this list of a few of my favorite useless sites. You don’t need to know the following sites, but if you have nothing better to do and you’re pretty bored, they can be very time consuming and always very interesting.
1. Last Words is a site dedicated to the last words people said, just before leaving this world. You can find many saying from famous people, fictional characters, famous epitaphs and famous farewells. If you always wanted to know what Thomas Jefferson said just before he left, this is the place for you.
Manage yourself and keep track of everything

We always forget. If it’s what we had for lunch, when is our best friend’s birthday or what were we planning on doing the next second. The fact that we are consuming more and more time on the Internet and not in front of the television, gives us more control on what we want to consume, what we want to read and what we want to view, but because there are so many things to read, see or hear on the Internet, we sometimes just forget what we had in mind. There are many organizers on the Web, some are free, some cost money, some are good and some are bad. The following list will give you a few of the simpliest ways to get organized online - being tidy is cool.
The list is not sorted in any particular way.
Movies and TV Information Fix

If there’s one thing that can compete for our love to the Internet, it’s probably the little screen and what’s on it. The big screen on the other hand, is a trend long due. It’s time for the movie theaters owners to wake up and reinvent themselves. If they should learn anything from the online development is that they need to focus - maybe going back to the Nickelodeon module will be good for business - niche small movie theaters that target specific genres or countries for example. Picture it - a 25 seats theater equipped with the latest in technology showing only Iranian films. Well, maybe not Iranian, but you get the picture.
We’re not saying that the films aren’t interesting anymore (but we won’t blame those who do say it) just that the media should advance and join the revolution. Or evolution. The current media leaders will have to start realizing that content should be first and foremost - free. When it’s free they can start billing for all the extras it comes with, or just give us more commercials, we’re used to it. Maybe we even like it.
