About the small things in life that seem oh so big

So much to learn

Posted in Short & Sweet by Cheryl on 25 March 2007

This weekend I decided to expand my proverbial Internet horizons by exploring two hip and huge sites on the Internet: wikipedia.org and digg.com.

Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia. I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealously while browsing the site at how easy kids have it nowadays, with so much information right at their fingers. I spent most of last night reading about World War I and World War II, and the bits in between.

Digg.com represents the latest of online sites whose content is driven by its audience. People browsing the Internet submit popular news stories to digg.com, and the stories submitted are displayed on the digg.com site as a list of links, with the most popular ones at the top.
