Re: Poll for English

I've always been curious on what percentage of the pages on the internet are adult oriented but I've never wanted to do a search on that topic for fear of the results. I bet it is a very considerable amount though.

I remember reading somewhere that it's something like 2/3.

Anyway I voted C, but it's not a web, it's more like a logical mesh, physical meshish.

Re: Poll for English

the internet is technology implemented in a way that has brought us one step closer to becoming the Borg.

A good example of this: Last week I flew Rochester => LA and back. At the airports every single 110VAC outlet was being used by one or (usually) two people, with laptops and cell phones recharging.

Just like on Startrek, when the Borg were not active they were plugged into their sleep/recharge stations - in pairs!

BTW, the first choice in your poll is invalid - Online refers to the internet,
so its saying the internet is documents on 'the internet'

Shhh.... People aren't supposed to know that!

It's just a random poll to inflate my grade above average by showing the initiative to gather my own data.

Re: Poll for English

The internet is a WAN- wide area network. By way of necessity, that's a lot of servers and computers connected. Now that I think about it, aren't the computers connected to the servers which are connected to a satelite?

(I didn't actually use the source, it's just something I found).

PS. Sorry if that changes the poll. You could just say that if servers are connected than the computers are connected, and hence there is no problem.

Re: Poll for English

I've gotta say thanks to everyone for posting and putting up comments.

My project turned out quite well. But the really important part is that I got a perfect grade.

So I thank you. (it turned out that the teacher wrote on the comment sheet "nice idea, starting your own poll to gather data," so that helped my grade.)
