Magical Land of the Internet

Wired News has found an artist named Randall Munroe who has made a map of the internet.  The lands are based off of the size of a website from how many people use it daily.  This map which can be seen on his website,  I find, is very humorous and also pretty true.  You can find the Troll Bay 4chan has its own Island in the island grouping of forums.  One of the largest of the lands is Facebook with state/provinces of farmville.  I think it is a very good look into our internet culture.  There also was a map made by Munroe back in 2007 where Myspace was huge and facebook was much smaller.I have a picture of the map but here is a link to a bigger map that will make exploring this land easier.

Can Fallout Happen In Real Life

The threat of nuclear war is still very real in out world.  GT tv asks if the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout could be a reality.  For their answer they looked to Dr. Michio Kaku.  He stated that fortunately we wouldn't have a planet overrun by mutants.  Unfortunately, that is because the radiation would kill most people and for one mutation, there would be thousands of babies that wouldn't make it an hour out of the womb.  Also the radiation would last for hundreds of years making agriculture impossible.  Dr. Kaku also compared this apocalypse to the fall of Rome saying that a nuclear war would throw us into a Dark Age that would last way longer than that of the previous dark age.  It was a great article that is a good reminder of why we should be careful with our nuclear arms.
