For many people this can be annoying as they tend to get late for work and school.

Construction is probably the fastest growing industry today with over a million homes being built each day it is no wonder that this grown trend towards building houses and residential complexes has caused the natural surroundings of many places to shrink. New houses, buildings, and complexes also put a great stress on the existing infrastructure of a country, and, city this is one reason why many places in third world countries are suffering from energy shortages and lack of water. There is a way out of this mess but it would require that all new houses and buildings be eco-friendly.

Over the years Internet explorer or IE for short has faced a lot of competition from various browser manufacturers such as Opera who pioneered the concept of tabbed browsing. For some reason however no browser ever really caught on and Internet Explorer ruled 89percent of the browser market simply because it came packaged with the Windows operating system. There were various other browsers that were gunning for the top position such as Mozilla’s browser which was and still is open source and easy to use.

For the first few years nobody really knew what Mozilla’s Firefox was really capable of and many new computer users shied away from installing this browser on their systems. Over a period of time and a few updates later Firefox began to gain momentum and within a span of a few years it managed to eat out a fair chunk of the browser market. According to latest estimates over 74 percent of windows systems have Firefox installed but that is not to say that these people are not using Internet Explorer. Since internet explorer comes preinstalled on a windows system people tend to keep it that way however the number of people that use Firefox have grown almost equivalent and in some polls exceeded Internet Explorer users.

Over the years that the people of the world have used computers they have made it a point to throw away obsolete and outdated computer equipment. When the CD-Rom was replaced by the DVD-Rom there were virtually millions of CD-ROMs that were discarded when eventually landed up in landfills. Many of the computer parts that are in use today include a certain percent of led this led over a period of years begins to leak and enter into the environment.

Computers manufactured in the early parts of the 1980’s and mid 1990’s were manufactured to be recyclable. Many of those computers can be seen in landfills stacked as high as forty feet. These obsolete computers are a danger to both wild life as well as human beings. Monitors as well as some motherboards have a small concentration of led which is poisonous.

A few days ago I came across some research that was done in the UK about YouTube addiction. The research stated that almost 55percent of younger people under the age of 35 are addicted to YouTube. Out of the youngsters surveyed almost 55 percent of them responded that they couldn’t get through the day without checking out a funny video or the latest videos that were uploaded to YouTube. This didn’t come across as a surprise since many young people prefer to spend their day after work either in front of the computer watching videos online or chatting with their friends.

YouTube offers an open medium where everyone from around the world can post videos that they want to share with the world. YouTube receives over a million visitors everyday and growing. This is vastly owing to the fact that YouTube is addictive just as much as video games and checking email. Youngsters who were addicted to YouTube were also addicted to social networking such as Friendster, Facebook, and myspace etc. Experts have suggested many ways for young people to get over their addiction but few youngsters believe that they are really addicted to such online activities. Many youngsters who were interviewed believed that online activities were an excellent alternative to getting bored around the house.
