One small step for (a) man; One giant leap for mankind

"When Iran carried out missile tests last week, they were widely condemned as being 'provocative', by the usual suspects.

Will Israel And / Or The U.S. Attack Iran?

Forget about universities, if you want knowledge

Now: Share or die! - Tomorrow: Be smarter or die!

I think the current trend on the Internet is one single concept and that is "sharing". Future trend may be "being smart" or "moving smart" or "using smarter facilites, softwares etc". The world wide whirlpool is still alive and active all around us. Thoughts can be shared very faster and they can get much more smarter if we move towards segmenting our time to think.
