Internet Censorship Exists Around the World

Free speech is beginning to be a thing of the past...
We are being censored around the world RIGHT now!

If someone classifies your website as undesirable, your site can be blocked. If you think this cannot happen here, think again!

Watch the video below and look at the websites I have placed below for more information....I have also listed the website I found this on in this blog title. Just click on it and see much more on this topic.

The First Router

So, I was born in 1971 but if I was born in the 1960s I would have soooo wanted to be part of this geeky project....

On Labor Day 1969, the first router was born. It connected UCLA and Stanford University and was amazingly fast at 50 kps - well....fast for back then anyway.

So by watching the video, we now know that the first router was the size of a refrigerator while most routers these days are about the size as a cordless telephone base....oh, how the times change. Arent you glad that you dont have to have something like this in your office? (Even tho the geek in me wishes I did have this piece of internet history in my home)

It amazes me how many people just dont understand how far we have truly come in the world of technology until they see something like this. So...watch!

Internet Service Provider - please dont spy on me!

So, the government can ask your internet service provider to spy on your internet habits?

Watch out! If they are stating that they want conspiracy fans out of society, just know that your ISP can tattle even if you peek at the genre.
(See reference: http://dprogram.net/2009/11/18/adl-calls-alex-jones-%e2%80%9cconspiracy-king%e2%80%9d-insinuates-he-should-be-removed-from-society/ )

But....its okay....its for your safety....yea right
