How Our Society Has Changed

Our society has changed immensely in the past five years. It has changed because of technology.

We can say that technology can be both a blessing and a curse. Technology has taken our world into a whole new era: social media.

Here’s a great infographic that shows how large the social media has grown:

As you can see, it is a large infographic, so I do recommend that you click it and zoom on it to fully grasp its “gratifying awe.” Hopefully, I’m using those words correctly.

Dear Google

Dear Google,

Why are you trying to shove Google+ down our throats? I mean, seriously, we don’t like Google+. Maybe a few people may like your Google+, but truth be told, I don’t think it can compete with the leading social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Also, why the heck did you change your commenting system on YouTube? First, you change the rating system from stars to likes and dislikes. Then, you put advertisements on each video. Now you’re, once again, shoving and choking us with Google+. The fact that there are over 20,000 people actually signing a petition to ask you to change back the commenting system should be enough of a sign.

Please fix your freakin’ system with YouTube. What the heck is this?

Monkeys? Is that why your servers are terrible? Because monkeys manage it? Seriously Google.

I understand that you’re trying to get Google+ off the ground. What you’re doing — is not working. At all.

For a guy who just wants to watch YouTube videos, comments do not matter much to me. I’m more of a guy who’s just there for the video. Sure, comment wars are entertaining, but I didn’t go to YouTube for that.

Also, fix your servers! Your advertising servers are better than servers you have for the actual video.

I do, however, like your search engine. Keep up the good work on that.

Love, the Internet.

Keep Chewing!

I haven’t done a rant in quite a while, and I believe this situation is definitely worth writing about. I hope you enjoyed the rant!

Thank You World

It’s been over a week since Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines, creating a path of destruction that was not only felt by those who were victimized, but also by the world. Many celebrities have tweeted their support for the Philippines and find it amazing how the human race, as imperfect as we are, know how to stand together as one family. I love the world for that.

My heart goes out to everyone in the Philippines.

Out of all the countless tweets, it’s the news that made me cry. CNN’s Anderson Cooper was reporting on the scene in Tacloban City. He put out this report.

I would like to speak on behalf of my fellow Filipinos. Mabuhay ka rin Anderson. Salamat Anderson Cooper. Salamat.

Maraming salamat for each and every country that gives their continuous help, love and support. Thank you.

Keep Praying
