I guess I will have to be the one to wish all blogs a happy birthday. Blogs are 25 years old this month. I was there at the birth of the first blog. I guess I was the father and mother of blogs. It is 25 years ago that I started Howard's Notebook and people started dialing in and reading my blog.
Happy birthday to all blogs.
I have been checking out the new streaming video sites. Everyone is all excited by them. I was trying to think ..what do they remind me of...then it came to me...they remind me of CB radio.
I remember when the 11 meter band was a ham radio band. I remember with the FCC took it away to create the 11 meter Citizens Band. There were great plans for CB radio. It was going to have calling channels and all sorts of wonder channels that people could use..it turned into the play ground of the fools. (I had a number of CB radios and used it for a small business for a time. )
Do not get me wrong...Streaming video is being used now and will be used for some good ...but it looks like it is going to turn into a way for the fools to "broadcast" to the world. Just think of all the dumb people you know and now think of them "broadcasting" live video and audio to the world. Every nut that thinks we blew up the Twin Towers, every brain dead fool that thinks the world is flat and we did not send men to the moon can now "broadcast" to the world.
Hell just think of CB radio as streaming video and audio world wide and you will get the idea.
I will use streaming video from time to time. I will be watching and I hope it does not turn into a CB radio type of thing.
I walked over to the lab and they took my blood. I see the doctor on the 5th.
