Google as predicted in 1964

Here is an interesting article from Web Owls about the “answer machine” of the future, which appeared in the book Childcraft Volume 6: How Things Change, published by Field Enterprises Educational Corporation in 1964. And the "Answer Machine" that they described is pretty much Google today =)

Here is one of the examples:

Online Shopping Coupons ...

Have you ever shopped online and wonder where do people get those "promotional code" for purchase discount ?

I came across Coupon Chief recently and it seems to be a good online portal to check for coupons, deals, and discounts. It features a wide range of offers from Best Buy, Home Depot, Gap, to Amazon and Comp USA etc.

So next time when you are shopping online, visit Coupon Chief before you hit that final "submit my order" button.

Social Entrepreneur: Heroes from a small planet



The Frontline/World series is a collection of stories about "social entrepreneurs" who innovate in ways that truly transform the world. "These are stories about individuals whose ideas leap beyond charity to find systemic solutions to poverty, education, health and social justice."

You can check out the videos in the Frontline / World series in their website. I found them very inspiring and that there are so much we can do to give back to the society. I am sure many of you have already heard about that "Microfinance" Project and "Hole in the Wall" Project, they are also profiled in the series as well. One of my favorite stories is the Sound of Hope, this heartwarming story shows how music has changed the lives of many children and transformed their society.
