Happy New Year - 2012

2011, another year gone by; the memories of the horrendous tsunami in Japan cannot be wiped out, nor can the tenth anniversary of 9/11 heal the sorrows of those who lost their loved ones. The Japanese people have surely shown their resilience once again and we pray that the world learns from this great society.

Interestingly, 2011 wasn't a spectacular year in that nothing 'awesome' may have happened for most folks, especially, living in the hope of a better and renewed global economy. Things have been bumpy and we hope that 2012 will be better on all fronts - health, education, finance, economy,...

So, with that, here's a look at how people in nations across the globe welcomed 2012. Happy New Year to all, once again.

Now, that's creativity! Great work by the team which may have put this together. Enjoy...

What's the opposite of Sky Scrapers?

As the world population crosses 7 billion, it's a concern for the planet, that where and how do we find the space to accommodate all these people. Architects have been building taller and higher, for all these years. But, will there be a limit to that? And, what if there are some places that won't permit building higher (whatever, the reasons behind that may be).

Well, it seems that the trend may be 'reversing', as some creative folks are contemplating building buildings beneath the surface of the earth! Check out this short video which uncovers what may well be a very interesting concept!

Will it be the trend for the future? Your guess is as good as ours...

(These People are) Just Awesome!

Here's an awesome video-collage of some AMAZING stuff that these people are doing. Watch it to believe it...



(...and, even if you don't believe the whole thing, it sure is hat's off to the creative folks behind these stunts!) Have fun!

Is This How You'll Live - The Future of Life with Mobiles

Sure, mobiles have changed lives on our planet faster than any other technology can claim. And, with smartphones the new rage, it's competition time between Apple's iPhone, Google's Android, Blcakberry, et al. And, other mobile devices like the Apple iPad or Samsung Tablet are adding to the excitement of living, working, doing everything possible (ever?) on the go!

Well, with the explosion of all these devices,and not to mention the "apps" available by the thousands for these, one would wonder, what exactly does this mean, or where is this leading to. Well, here's a compilation of stuff that one may do - i.e. life in 24 hours - with your smartphone (ok, may be the next generation of this, called, possibly, the MEGAPhone).

A Mobile Day in the Life: 24 Hours in the Age of the MEGAphone from David Berkowitz

Well, I don't know about you, but if I can help it, at least I wouldn't want this to be my life. The older way, of feeling, touching and thinking about things, rather than being prompted by a "smart" device for everything would really mean that the future is here to be lived by robots. I'd rather, it take a couple of decades more. But then, it could just be me...
