Understanding the Web

This was once a hit on YouTube.

It's really about how digital media, and how easy it is to create, More people publishing changes how we think and act. The machine might Google but it's much bigger than that.

I love the connections and the flow of the video. Did you see the early references to "code"? I went back to school at Waynesburg College (Continuing Education) in 1975 just to learn code (Basic & Fortran) so I would know what was going on in this new world. 100 BILLION clicks a day! Rethink Love, Family, and ourselves.

Yesterday at 7:00 AM Catlin had a blowout on the busiest stretch of IH35 on her way to work. I Googled Discount Tire in Lewisville, phoned them and got the name of a towing company. She was taken in for a new tire and was on her way (3-1/2 hours later).

Interesting and mind boggling. I took one course starting to learn HTML. I was amazed about packets and PGP. I laughed at some of the terms. I did not follow through and continue to take courses. I still have the book and maybe this will make me go get it and read some more. Thanks for the link. I loved that you were able to put the button there. I did learn how to do that, but I forget now. I use Mozilla most of the time, but recently I have to go to IE. This You Tube link would not run on Mozilla. Yesterday, my email wouldn't even load on Mozilla. That was the first time for that!

 When watching the evening news today, I saw an image of coal barges lined up at the docks at the USS Mon Valley Steel Plant.  Of course the news segment was about the White House blocking the sale of USS to Nippon Steel.  My mind wandered to to dad's career at the Robena Prep Plant.  I didn't think that it was still in operation but I searched for more information.  I found that the Robena deep mines closed in 1983, but plant continued to operate until 2017 processing coal from surface mining for Consol Mining.  It seems that reclamation of the site began many years before 2017, most likely mandated by local concerns about environmental damage from seepage from the three large slurry ponds and other surface contamination.  Dad took me out one Sunday afternoon to inspect the dikes and berms around the ponds.  We had to hop into one of the big company trucks to traverse the dirt roads around the site. I read a couple of articles about the ongoing l...
