The power of the Internet

It's no surprise that the Internet is one of the most recognisable communicating tools around the globe. It was first introduced in 1965 by scientists and government agencies, who through the years worked pretty hard to get the Internet off the ground and started. Thanks to them, we are now able to access as much information as we can. And it is also widely used to interact with different types of people from all over the world, whether it's business related or personal. Internet will surely be used to either inform, entertain orwarn us of any dangers.

In my opinion, South Africa has grown in the past few years, making it one of the most technologically advanced countries to date. Which is impressive...Every year the number of people connecting to Internet is growing aswell. Internt is used in many forms such as; advertising a new line of clothing, announcing that a function will be taking place via Facebook or Twitter, which are other well known social mediums. The downfall though is that it is very expensive to maintain the Internet but other than that it's a great tool to use. The other amazing thing is that you can have a normal conversation via Skype with your sister who is in England and you in South Africa.

A single tweet can have half the country following, can you see how powerful the Internet is? I don't think we realise how influencial Internet is. Most of us can't do much without it.
There's also wireless Internet, which many companies use to make it easier to connect with Internet, wherever you are.

And through the years, Internet inventions  has literally changed the way we live in society by changing the way we communicate with one another.

We've improved our communicating skills and there is still alot to learn!

Worlds fastest and sexiest cars!

It's no surprise that South Africa is slowly but surely moving forward in terms of cars and technology but we'll be focusing on cars. Take for example the famous Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, not the most attractive car but it's potential lies in the engine. Built in France but proudly designed by Germany and engineered by Volkswagen. I'm not surprised that the Germans would come up with such a powerful machine, it's quite impressive. Named one of the fastest cars for the year 2013, which is quite impressive although the body could do with a little improvement. It's a monster on the road with an amazing average speed of at least 267.8 miles p.hour! Bugatti Veyron made it into the Guiness World Records at a top speed of 431km/h, I was impressed myself when I foud out. The Veyron has four enlarged turbo chargers, and the 16 cylinder engine has a total of 1,2000 horsepower and is one of the fastest road cars in production today.
Now, if that's not fast then I don't know what is. I would definately recommend it for those speed freaks, those who just can't enough of that addrenaline in their system. The Bugatti Veyron goes for about 2.5 million dollars...you do the math and if by any chance you can afford this car, then I take my hat off to you.

Now let's look at a few other beasts. Koenigseggs Agera, not an easy name to pronounce but this car goes at a speed of about 250 mph which has twin turbo V8 that helps this sports car go from 0- 124 in only 7seconds! Another beast is the Lamborghini Jota, now this is definately a stunner. It's got the body, made out of carbon fibre, but has some body parts made from alluminium which makes it extra light and faster. I would definately get me a Lamborghini. Even the name is almost exotic, it's almost perfect.
                                                                                                                         And lastly the McLaren F1, it's famous for Formula One racing with the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Micheal Schumacher. This car isn't as global as one would think, they're actually pretty rare and that's why they're in such high demand. It's a pity that there are only 100 of these cars roming around and it goes for about 1 million dollars, which to me, isn't bad for a well known sports car.  The last one was produced in 1998, that's a very long time ago. You better look really hard if you want to find yourself driving this little monster. And the other cool thing about her is the fact that she's a three seater and the driver sits in the middle. That's something diffrent don't you think?

The inventions people come up with in this world amazes me. And I appreciate that. Soon we'll be flying in spaceships!
