the Internet is ALIVE…

The internet has come a long way.  From simple html format, to flash and java, movies, and now widgets that you can rearrange on your page and move as you wish and please.  It’s like your own virtual world.  I was telling my friend, an online business entrepreneur, over a Bud Light Lime (now available on tap), at Buffalo Wild Wings   how complicated websites can be now, and how some computer illiterate people would have a hard time figuring out how to use some sites.

“The Internet is alive,”  my friend comedically joked. 

Some scientists are claiming that it’s very possible that the internet could become self-aware and know exactly what you’re looking at.

“The internet behaves a fair bit like a mind [already, i]t might already have a degree of consciousness… The outlook for humanity is probably better in the case that an emergent, coherent and purposeful internet mind develops.”

One day we will have virtual hand jobs at the courtesy of your desktop!

Learn for only $25 a month

I decided that I wanted to go to LA Film School to study audio and music.  Thanks to my friend, Ben Carson, a professional music composer and film producer, I have a decision to make.  Spend $40k on a degree at a music school, or $80k for a fashion design degree, or $25 a month to soak up as much information as I can on Lynda.com?  Ben directed me to this sight.  I guess if you have the patience, you can learn everything on here.    You can watch as many videos as you want.  Not only do they teach in music, but they also have over 70,000 video tutorials in photoshop, adobe cs5, after affects, air, bridge, cold fusion, director, soundbooth,  auto cad, maya, aperture, dvd studio pro, media composer, final cut express, dreamweaver, elements, encore, fireworks, flash, illustrator, and the list goes on . . .

Learn something

Learn a new language for FREE

On Iphone I downloaded an ap to learn Japanese and Portuguese for free.  To my amazement, my 5 year old daughter plays on my phone and started picking up Japanese.  It’s a game to her.  There’s an upgrade for a few dollars, and you can even buy the entire computer program for only $50.  Programs like Rosetta Stone cost HUNDREDS of dollars.  They have 70 languages.  Check it out!

Learn a new language.  It’s sexy!
