Further Importance of the Internet...

SNOW DAY TODAY...

Its all very exciting... but how did we all know there was a snow day?
Sometimes the schools ring your home and tell you, but by speaking to a lot of people today, while sledging, I realised that most of them found out from the school website.
It is so easy to access, and it can be updated easily, hence how we all found out so early in the morning that instead of doing work, we could be making snow angels in the snow :)
More and more people are using the internet everyday, and to what extent will it go to in the future?
Got addicted to Youtube again the other day, was watching a song on youtube, and on the related videos, it came up with all these things, and through link, after link, after link, I found myself on something completely irrelevent to what I had originally typed into the search bar.

Also, I have been watching a lot of trailers for TV series, for example, Skins, Gossip Girl and Hustle. They are my favourites at the moment. But I was watching trailers for them, oncemore, I got carried away and ended up on the "bloopers" or "outtakes" of the shows. Just shows how the internet can steal two hours of your life without you even noticing, and correct me if im wrong, but I don't think thats a good thing!

Hi Susie,

Thanks for the post. I found it interesting how the main announcement on the school website migrated quickly to Wall postings on Facebook. It's a modern day version of the Tom Tom drums, beating out signals to those far away.

As for Skins 3, I'm not sure it's my cup of tea. Too over the top for my liking, and while I appreciate the bold move of taking a new cast, it makes me feel alienated from what I know and like.

I started watching the Inbetweeners on DVD over the weekend. It's a middle class public school version of Skins, but with more verbal gags. Very funny.
