Looking Back: The Precursors to Modern Technology

The world has seen dramatic changes, especially on the technological front in the previous decade: more than have probably occurred in the previous 50+ years. And, while we view this post on our tablets or share the link to our preferred social media/network, we hardly spare a moment to think about how this really happened. For those who have been around for a while, they'll probably know - or recall - those good ole' days of yore, and how ... But for the younger generation, this information and knowledge will be confined to history books or in old films.

A nice slideshow that captures some of the major technological products, from phones to cameras to storage media in the years gone past. It's fun - and like a quiz. So, check out how many you can recognize.

Amazing Beach Art - Crop Circles in Sand!

Look closely...brace your self! This is actually an incredible art creation on the sands of a beach. This amazing piece of art work is by an American artist, AndresAmador.

His canvas is the sandy beach, and his paintbrush is a garden rake, using which he creates some incredible and spectacular designs, all of which probably last no more than a few hours, before the tide washes it away.

Check out Andres' art work - and you'll be stunned, we promise.

Understanding the Mobile Era (Mobile 101)

The world has been taken over by mobiles, and that's a fact that none will question, no matter which continent you reside on. If the experts are right, this (r)evolution will only get stronger, and bigger (and hopefully, better).

So, in this modern age, while we (or the kids today) may live a life like this (See post: Is This How You'll Live - The Future of Life With Mobiles), it may be worthwhile for everyone to get to know this modern mass medium a little better. Thanks to the folks who put this nice presentation together, it's like the 'Mobile 101' for not just the techies, but everyone in order to make this new technology work better for them - whether now, or in the upcoming future.

A Beautiful Toy Love Story

This is Toy Story with a sweet twist. Great composition (and yeah, commercial!)

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.
