Who is Hopkin Green Frog? It is a stuffed toy frog that an autistic boy lost. He created a flyer and posted it around Seattle looking for his toy. Someone got hold of the flyer and put it on the internet. People were interested in helping to find the frog. Someone even called his house to find out about the entire situation. Sounds crazy to be concerned about a frog. The interesting part for me is thinking about the power behind the Internet. Something can spread at such a rapid rate and get so many people involved. I guess this is a meme at work. Some new concept that spreads like wildfires.
We have the capability to do so many things now and accomplish so much. The internet could be used to do so many good things for the world. I definitely need to be a part of something good. Imagine what we could actually do with this technology?

It was a silly thing and you know it!
The problem I see with this and things like this is - people who don't have lives are able to exploit people who do have lives.
I don't know... maybe I'm a totally different kind of person, but using technology in this manner just gets on my nerves. The freedom that people have to be 'all up in your business' (that's the way the kids would say it) is really unsettling to me.

Testing is over. The only changes I'm thinking about making right now relates to my sleep pattern - I'm sleeping in tomorrow. I'll think about changing the world on another day! :)
Thank you for being a concerned friend. We MUST do lunch soon!
