Combating the Social Decline!

According to some research, Hong Kong has the third highest percentage of broadband internet access users in the world. This should be something to be proud of, but no. The research also says that most broadband users use the Internet to do email, ICQ, download MP3s and surf. Basically, mostly for entertainment and amusement.

One doesn't need broadband to do ICQ or email. Web-surfing is much nicer with broadband, but one can survive with a 56K modem dialup. Basically, most folks are just not using broadband to its full potential.

Po stopped using Radio since his copy expired. He said he was too cheap. Different priorities, fine. (But then one doesn't need broadband to do weblogging, especially w/ Radio.) I must say I am a bit disappointed thou.

The fine folks at Netvigator offers this value-added service . Knowing that most folks have nothing to say and even less to express, I wonder how popular this service is.

Broadband has become a necessary tool for software development. I have linked to them before. Check out these folks.
