The deepest ocean.

The deepest ocean, this isn't found where you are expecting it to be. No this is not something tangible or something physical. It is not something that many think it is and use. This deepest of  oceans is the internet.

It is the amazing space where anyone and everyone can put what they know, what they love and what they care about. They put their 'life hacks', case in point a year ago while looking for a job, online. I found one which stated :  Write ten life hacks and explain them and we pay you 150 euros upfront.  Our experience is recorded stored and saved on this massive data base a cloud, that once anything is on there it is very hard to remove. Yet, we often restrict our self's, me included to the first 2-3 pages of Google, if not the very first search that comes up. We often do not even dare to go and see the 2-100 million more results what they can offer and what they have in store for us.

I read an article recently saying how the writer of the blog, which promotes starting companies and initiatives, He mentioned the fact that so many amazing start ups have no chance to start, because they never are able to get to the top, as the top have monopoly over our attention.

In fact we cannot even access some of them as Google censors them according to who pays it money to be the high light. Or according to what is used the most. ( tells you a great deal about Wikipedia and how many desperate students resort to such measures)

This site shows us the views of which sites we visit and how many times we visit them, and I am sure you use a fraction more different websites then these mentioned. For anything else opened its though links of highly liked statuses and posts from famous people who influences 200-1000000 million people to look at someone.

I must say myself I post here, my thoughts my ideas my stories and my personality. Some people told me it is as if I know you and have known you for a long time. However why do we still have people saying, I am sorry but I don't know how to use that! I am sorry but what is Google drive? I am sorry what are Google docs? I am sorry but what is video chat? I am sorry what is live streaming?

I was told by a close friend of mine, and I love him to bits, but he told me: "Alex not everyone is like you, not everyone knows how to use computers like you."

To that I will tell you, I learnt everything by trying, I learnt everything by watching others doing something and asking. I ask Google daily, how do I draw a graph, how do I use excel ( people using massive statistical analysis please give me an alternative I would love you for ever)

The point is, my basis in being able to interact with computers is minimal and archaic compared with some people I know who are computer, tech wizards. Unlike these tech wizards, to be able to use and maximize you experience from this giant pool of knowledge of experience and just plain amazing opportunities is very easy..

All you need is to understand, there is more to the internet then just the same few sites everyone uses. I, as a number of you know, have a thing to have 40-80 tabs or so open at the same time when I'm working on my laptop (granted 20-30 of them are from Facebook) , when I am gaming or even just watching a film. I highly suggest you learn how to use different sites at once, of course granted you have the RAM for it.

Anyhow, I have rambled and jumped from point to point. Saying many things and yes saying nothing at all, but I will say is this, use and integrate internet, and its million and one uses in your life.
