News for the day

With the rate the Internet is a growing part of everyday life, I think that Internet search requests are an excellent way of assessing the eb and flow of our American culture. (granted, the Web isn't quite equal-opportunity, as many people can only access the Web through their local library). Look at this chart of search terms from Google, Yahoo, and AOL from this year, then compare them to terms from past years. I found it quite interesting, but then again, I am a computer teacher.

In other news, the man who invented the instant noodle died this week at age 96. Maybe I should make Ramen a bigger part of my diet!
