We blog. We post. We upload. We share. We like. We Tweet. Using social media, we all write our own individualized own history books. Every relationship, every kiss, every romantic thing we hear - we broadcast it to the Internet. Some might say we are a narcissistic society. I say that we are just sentimental. Yet the content of our autobiographies are scrambled across multiple friending sites built upon advertising alone.

Velcro was invented by a Swiss engineer who couldn't help but discover a good use for the nasty burrs of burdock that would stick to his clothes and his dog's fur after hunting trips.
