The Blind YouTubers Changing the Accessibility of the Internet
There’s no other technology in the world that can transport people to entirely new situations so inexpensively and easily as films can. From the moment the opening scene starts, you’re dropped into that character’s universe – whether that’s 1940s New York, Rome in AD 180, or entering a wormhole in order to save a mid-21st… Continue reading The Blind YouTubers Changing the Accessibility of the Internet

It’s not uncommon for large corporations like Alphabet or Microsoft to hold a sizable investment portfolio – we’re talking $1B+ of stock in other companies. However, when two behemoths invest in the same company, especially when that company is less than two years old, then everyone needs to realize that company’s potential.

By 2069, Every Person On Earth Will Have Internet Access
By 2069, every single person on Earth will have access to the Internet. This is because Google, Facebook, and a few other competitors are using Internet connectivity initiatives as a mechanism to economically “colonize” developing countries and the rural outskirts of the world.
