What is this...
What is this..I don't even. This phrase is commonly used to confuse users. This phrase began in 2007 but has recently sparked in usage. So in a typical conversation someone would use this phrase to reply to someone who previously said something idiotic, just to make everything a little more confusing. Most people who recieve this repsonse usually have nothing to say back, a.ka. end of conversation. I find this meme somewhat hysterical, what's better than confusing someone who doesn't even make sense in the first place? This meme was previously unknown to me, however i see myself using it in the future.
Ray Kurzweil
Technology and Science come hand in hand. It is unbelieveable how unpredictable, yet predictable the future. The possibility of overcoming poverty is amazing, maybe this will lead to equal social classes in most societies. As Kurzweil basically pointed out the future of technology will only make our lives more convienent, and possibly change the age of life expectancy with the nanotechnology that is starting to bloom. Most of the lecture that Kurzweil gave was beyound me however his main points made complete sense. Exponential growth is very important, and most people even if they are not very technologically advanced can see that every day there is something new introduced in the world of techology. Is it even possible that computers will be out of the picture because everything around us will have the capabilities of a computer? Multimedia is rapidly expanding and will continue for generations to come. Overall the thought that Kurzweil being able to attempt to predict the future is very interesting. I think that things will develop so quickly that maybe Kurweil will be behind in his predictions.

Web Pages That Suck
Control Driving Skills..
More like control your punctuation's. When arriving to this site I wasn't even sure where to start. I'm pretty sure the homepage of this website has more punctuation's on it than you would find in a 10 page paper. This is a business website designed to make 'good drivers better.' The problem with this website was that I had to scroll almost half way down the page to figure out what kind of business it is! The next thing was the background full of clouds mixed in with the red and blue font, just because the font is HUGE doesn't make it legible. The business is located in Ontario, Canada yet the site managed to throw a U.S. flag in. The last thing that was very bothersome was that I couldn't for the life of me figure out what underlined words were hyperlinked and which weren't! One of the most unprofessional websites I personal have ever came across.

Play Dead.
This quite interesting meme considers playing dead a game. Which doesn't seem like the most interesting of games to play, but hey why not. It was introduced in South Korea and has now spread throughout the world. If you are interested in this 'playing dead' all you need to do is take a picture of yourself or a friend literally acting dead, but make sure it looks realistic. The most interesting thing about this was that it apparently is suppose to be comical.
