What do you want to do today?

05-07-2006

I am constantly amazed about what people are currently doing based on what I read and see online every day. The internet has made the world a much smaller place. For instance we can see guys in Russia learning the French art of free running, jumping from building to building producing footage not seen outside of a Hollywood film. Others take their favourite vehicles to the extremes, longest stoppie on a motorbike, longest jump in a dune buggy or street drifting in modified Japanese cars. There are people out there competing with other individuals that they have never met from places they have never heard of. Kids playing electric guitars with such finesse and speed that would make Steve Vai go green with envy. Others are modifying high street technology to make it do things it was never intended to do and sharing the information with the rest of us. There are people taking their bodies to the extremes of fitness showing of their skills and martial arts abilities. Others take video cameras with them as they base jump out of high-rise hotel windows or from the top of the tallest waterfalls.

Microsoft’s Windows 95 used to say “Where do you want to go today?” The internet is saying “What do you want to do today?”
