1,000 YEARS OF HUMAN LIFE....

According to internetlivestats.com there are over 3 billion internet users in the world right now. This represents over 40% of the worlds population, think about it. Almost half the world is "connected" which means that a lot of other crazy statistics come to light.
A website call Alexa populates and stores these stats, they rank all the websites according to the individual or unique users who visit it and how many pages they visited it. Here is a screen shot of the top ten sites today.
Without a doubt google.com reigns supreme as the number one site accessed in the world. You wonder why Sergei and Larry are so rich, because everyone uses their search engine.As an I.T. guy I actually find it idiotic that people dont memorize URLs anymore. If you are like me you understand this, someone would rather google facebook then click on the top result which is usually the site then go to it. I have seen it a million times, its making us lazy. But I digress, so why is the ranking so important. Well , the company can actually see the demographic that access their website and tailor make their products for them. Case in point, blogger is a distant position 92 and from the statistics is mostly accessed by women. Below is a screen shot of the stats from google.com.



Those numbers don't exactly shock me, what shocks me is the amount of time people spend on the 3rd best site on the web, youtube.com. A company usually calculates how much time loss the have by man hours which is basically a total of the amount of time each individual would have spent performing tasks. Companies usually explain that loss in hours, how about explaining time spent in years. You see how you sit down after work and you are probably waiting for it to stop raining or for your ride to get there. What relaxes you, Im guessing a cat video. Like dear kitten.
Really funny stuff right, but did you know that if you put together the amount of time that people spent on just one you-tube channel it can be equated to over 1,000 years of human life. The channel in question is MKBH and the host usually reviews the latest in tech improvements, consumer advice on devices etc. The videos in his channel have been viewed in 2014 over 130 million times and people have spent over 548 million minutes watching them. He isn't even the highest ranked channel but people are on there. Just in case you don't believe me, here is a screen shot of the stats and the video that he says this.




So how long do you spend watching youtube videos.....

She killed him.........................

A man’s primary purpose in life is to provide, both for the present and the future. Often, nothing he possesses naturally is seen as inherently valuable. For a woman, however, the opposite is true, as she is born with much of what is deemed valuable for the species. It's a rather bleak topic to discuss, yet it reflects a truth we have come to understand. Recently, I buried a great man who did everything right, though it wasn’t enough to earn him the long life he so deserved. Born and raised in poverty, he was on his way to becoming the best in his field, until he met someone he couldn't resist. As a child, he encountered a beautiful girl whom he believed could walk on water. Their young love blossomed in the dusty, rural farmlands of western Kenya, only for life’s circumstances to separate them for nearly two decades. During their time apart, he built a foundation that his peers from the village could only dream of. From barefoot maize harvests in the village to excelling at a ...

How Much Is Enough? I think I figured it out.....................

I recently faced a situation that I have faced multiple times, getting vindicated for my integirty while those who chose a different path finding themselves on the wrong side. I have worked in the industry I am in for almost 16 years now and during that time I have seen colleagues get rich through dubious means. My time in this iindustryhas made me aware of ways in which this is possibe but I have always questioned on whether it is worth it. Guys getting kick backs or outright theft looks attractive in the moment but at the end of the day you always get caught and find yourself in a worse of position than before. We see the same thing in our politicians and even though theirs is the making oofa kleptocracy we always ask ourselves, How much is really enough? I think I may have found out how much in my perspective may be enough. KES. 300 MILLION Hear me out on this, if you were to have a windfall or accumulate wealth in a short time i personally believe that amount would serve my family ...

Most of what I know I learned from television........

Ever watched the movie sarafina, well my mum and I watched it 3 times in cinema when I was barely 5 years old. Since then I have either kept a VHS tape or DVD nearby just in case I want to watch it. For those who know all the lines by heart, remember the day that Miss Masumbuga's ( Whoopie Goldberg's character) class needed to come up with an idea for the school show and she walked in late, she screamed ' Better late than never'. That question came in an exam that I hadn't read for when I was just a kid and I remembered the answer. Who gave you the talk? You know, about the birds and the bees etc. Well I don't exactly remember the actual show but I did learn quite a bit from 7nth heaven. I didn't have to go through the traumatic experience of getting the talk from my parents. Who taught you how to tie a tie? My father tried to teach me but I kept tying fat notes. Remember that scene in true lies where Arnold Schwarzenegger was tying his tie in the mirror ...
