The World of Tomorrow (If The Internet Disappeared Today)
This is a great read (look) at what the world would look like if the internet disappeared today. A photo contest by the readers of Cracked.com. Some really fun stuff to think about how much the world has changed : )
While there’s a lot that’s funny, there is a reality check and reminder at how much has changed in our lives in such a short time. How much we take for granted because of the internet, and how much we wouldn’t have in our world if it never existed. Certainly we could do without some of it, but also how much we can do, how many people we’re in touch with, how many connections we have (meaningful and meaningless) because of the networked world we now live in.
It’s probably too large to think about, so for now, take a look and smile for a little while : )
And to be honest I don’t get the winner? If you could help me with that I’d be grateful…..

Hallo Barrie,
Great post
The last one is a phenomena known as Rick-Rolling… Google it, particuarily check out Youtube.
I was involved in a rather large social media planned rick-mob at liverpool street station in london last year.
It was a Rick-Roll Flash mob. http://bit.ly/ma83I
