Internet overload
So really, when is the Internet finally full? Never? Amazing. There is stuff on it from years ago, and people add web sites every single day, especially with blogs and Facebook and YouTube. Searches no longer bring up a few dozen or so hits, it's usually in the hundreds or thousands. You know this when you see the pages on the bottom with arrows, that it appears to go for infinity.
Of course, no one really monitors the web, per se. People put everything on it. Maybe I'm just having one of those days. Information overload!

Multimedia is taking over
So I was watching CNN and it was showing a video that was posted on YouTube and that was a strange feeling. Multimedia is everywhere, isn't it? I mean, YouTube, FaceBook, MySpace, blogs, video news. It's crazy. And it seems to have happened so fast.
Those of us over 35 reminisce about the days when we actually had to look for a pay phone. Or carry around one of those HUGE mobile phones. I remember how heavy that battery bag was to lug around. Imagine all of the new ways to communicate since those days!
So now you can log onto a radio station's web site and watch videos and see pictures from an event. You can log onto a tv station's web site and watch the latest news on a video. A newspaper's site has video, audio, slide shows AND a nicely written story.
Is all of this too much? Sometimes...
