The remarkable success of Youtube.Com on the Internet immediately shows you the power of and the wide spread interest in and use of streaming video technology. According to Alexa Youtube went on line on February 15,2005. Today (November 19, 2006) the site is number seven in the Alexa ratings. What an amazing surge in popularity in less than two years.
Many videos at Youtube may suffer in quality due to a lack of editorial control but that is likely one of the prime reasons that Youtube’s popularity is so great. At Youtube anyone with a video camera or even cell phone can upload video and be their own camera man , producer, editor, and marketing manager. To say that Youtube is empowering is a bit of an understatement.

Mankind is remarkably adaptable.
While invariability many will resist change, as it is stressful and for most people requires some work and discomfort to make it through the adaptive process, once the change has been made folks tend to adjust to new conditions rather quickly.
Which is a darn good thing as in the first decade of the 21st century most of us are experiencing a faster rate of change in the way we live than at any time in history.

Have you ever taken the time to stop and think about what kind of person you are? I mean honestly dig down deep and give yourself a self inspection.
Are you kind, loving, happy, sad, abusive, selfish, giving, friendly, extroverted, introverted, generous, tight fisted, frightened, impulsive, a procrastinator, brave, a coward, respectful, loud, brash, meek, sophisticated, snobbish, fun to be with, a royal pain, and above all else fair?
Fair, by the way, really means that everyone is treated equally. That you treat everyone as you yourself would like to be treated.
As we all know this world isn’t very fair as many people make the judgement that they are better than the next person and deserve special privileges.

In an age of unending visual communications and shortened attention spans, largely thanks to the pervasive influence of TV, for many writing was well on it’s way to becoming a lost art form. That is until the blog was born.
Now countless bloggers the world over are honing their writing skills in the hope of appealing to a worldwide audience or perhaps just to vent their rage about an unfair imperfect world order.

Anyone who attempts to make a living from working on the Internet will all too soon encounter the dreaded and persistent Internet thieves.
No, I’m not writing about the “business men” in Nigeria who desperately need your help to transfer $30,000,000 in secret money from their former Presidents bank account in Nigeria to your US checking account. For your cooperation they are generously promising to pay you a cool $10,000,000. All they need is for you to wire them $10,000 in good faith money so that their attorney can draw up the proper documentation.

There aren’t too many things from one’s college days that still ring in your ears after a few years go by. Except perhaps for your college fight song. Go Yellow Jackets, Blue Devils, or Bulldogs or Trojans. Go, Go, Go. Fight, Fight, Fight.
College spirit seems to come before a solid education at some of our institutions. At least for the athletically and sports fan inclined.
However, that may actually be a plus as I’ve thought for some time that the real value of a college education are the social, teamwork, and friendship building skills that the astute student will develop rather than the course material that is crammed into the brain for exams only to be immediately forgotten about an hour or two and a few beers later.

Over the past few years Forex trading has become a popular activity on the Internet. Unfortunately, as is often the case on the wild, wild, net many of the statements promoting forex trading are misleading, only partially true, or outright lies.
What? There are folks on the Internet who will say anything only to get your money? Hmmmmmm. I expect that you already know the answer to that question. As always, beware of the easy money pitches.

This blog will likely offend a great many people. I assure you the intention is not to create anger and resentment but to get you to think for and by yourselves.
Thinking for yourself is not always easy in the hyped up media world of today. Mind control and subliminal manipulation of the mind are practiced by big business and by big government.
Then there are the religious orders of the world. As a believer you are taught how not to think but to accept. Faith can be a wonderful supporting influence in ours lives but accepting dogma without giving it any thought at all is not such a good thing for your personal development.

The investment world that we live in has slowly changed over the past few years. The changes have been so gradual that to the casual observer there seems to be no significant change at all. People the world over go about their daily living and business routines never dreaming that the way they conduct their lives and businesses may well be at risk.
This lack of awareness makes the ongoing changes in the balance of economic power around the world all the more important for the investor to understand.

It takes a lot of effort to keep up with what is going on in todays world. For the “old folks”, those over thirty five or so, change is coming about at a pace that if not uncomfortable is often totally confusing.
Significant changes are occurring in just about every aspect of society but nowhere as fast as among young folks who are Internet savvy. Myspace is a prime example of a huge and rapidily growing community of folks involved in a new way of making friendships across the globe.
