What new piece of information did you learn on the internet today?

I just learned how x-rays are produced. I learned some uses for x-rays. I learned from yahoo news that Farm jobs are one of the most hazardous least paid jobs. I learned that Dimitri Mendeleev discovered of periodicity by looking at a deck of cards. I learned that BaPt(CN)6 was a scintillation screen that was used to detect x-rays. It glows a green color. I know it's a lot of jargon/geeky stuff but that's what I'm into. But the question stands:

What did you learn today?

I learned the Dimitri Mendeleev thing in my Chem. class from this British documentary talking about the Periodic table haha =D I also learned the 2nd X ray fact you have on here in chem. class!! haha...our teacher never taught us..and he just made us watch videos to learn lol.



Well I was on Y!A and a user asked what language a song was and posted a youtube link and there was this adorable looking amphibian that I have never seen before. So I looked it up.

I learned that an Axolotl is near extinction due to urbanization in Mexico City and the waters getting polluted. And the Pokemon Wooper was inspired by these cute creatures. haha :D



I normally look up history related things on the Internet so this kind of different for me =]

in undemanding terms sixteen years previous, and already you're nostalgic for the "sturdy previous days" -- you are able to think of how us older persons experience! i do no longer think of each and every person is way less smart on the instant, yet i think of they are much less knowledgeable. regardless of the undeniable fact that, greater teenagers are uncovered to training on the instant than interior the previous, while very few human beings have been given lots training previous grade college. the familiar of television programming has definitely deteriorated, in part as a results of fact there is so lots greater of it (zillions of channels), and in part as a results of fact the main innovative each and every person is now in contact interior the internet. television is rapidly turning out to be a ineffective-end street, as a results of fact the brighter teenagers (and adults) are attracted to interactive stuff on the internet. Why watch a television teach passively once you are able to work together with a working laptop or computing gadget application or with different teenagers online? i latterly without warning met an previous buddy of mine, who, when I final had seen him were a dithery previous guy. Now he replaced into alert and engaged, and appeared lots youthful. the reason: on the age of 80, he'd long previous online, and had substitute into revitalized by using the internet. only staggering!
