Hey guys,
Welcome back to another installment of Communications Technologies.
*Cheers and crowd goes wild*
Now this particular blog might not be half as exciting, but in an attempt to make it exciting, im going to post the questions i have had to answer myself, without the assistance of Search Engine god "Google" Or the bane of my existance "Wikipedia".
They are really abstract and some might be considered humorous depending on your personality.
1. What did Alan Turing wear while riding his bicycle around Bletchley Park?
2. On what date did two computers first communicate with each other? Where were they?
3. What is Bill Gates’ birthday and what age was he when he sold his first software?
4. Where was the World Wide Web invented?
5. How does the power of the computer you are working on now compare with the power of a personal computer from 30 years ago?
6. What is the weight of the largest parsnip ever grown?
7. When did Queensland become a state and why is the Tweed River in New South Wales?
8. What was the weather like in south-east Queensland on 17 November 1954?
9. Why is is Lord Byron still remembered in Venice?
10. What band did Sirhan Chapman play in and what is his real name?
Okay there are you're questions if you can answer the first one off the top of your head email me your name, address, postal information and i will send you out a pulizter prize or something shiny i picked up in the trash, cause that one stumped me and took up 2 hours of my time sorting through various pages (that weren't google or wiki i swear ^_^).
