Apps are displacing the WWW from your time and focus.You HAVE to read this: The Web Is Dead. Long Live the Internet.

You already know that the world wide web (WWW) is just a part of the Internet. But do you realize that the apps are displacing the WWW from your time and focus? All those applications you run from your smartphone, TV, etc.? Read carefully this VERY interesting duplex article from WIRED magazine.

While we focus on Information Technology updates in this blogpost, here's a very rare and cool item: a space-theme cover, with a Technology Day Station pictorial postmark from 2006.

I never met an extraterrestrial [ :) ], but I did meet people who have been in Cosmos.

First I met cosmonaut Dumitru "Dorin" Prunariu (Romania). My mother is his former biology teacher in elementary school.

Then I met astronaut Henry "Hank" Hartsfield Jr. (USA)
We shook hands and he autographed this space cover for me (COSMOS3b, in my photobucket.com album "dorincard").

    The death of the web is over-rated. Many of us are still using non-web mobile-/cell-phone technology.

    The WW2 generation and the post-war baby-boomers grew up in the era of "if it ain't broke, you don't need a new one" (and if it is you don't get a new one until you can pay for it cash!). My mobile phone is for emergency contact only: no camera, no games, no web.

    Long live the web!

Your ongoing feedback is always appreciated.
If you never return, it is my fault for boring (?) you.
If you return, it is your merit to have discovered a blog worth exploring and following. :)
