Getting Paid to Blog? Well I Never!
I have heard of all kinds of services where you can get paid to shop, write articles and the like but I haven’t heard of anyone offering to pay me to Blog. There are so many ways to make money online but I never hear of anyone who has actually done it, ok, I hear about them but I never meet them 🙂 Well, I just have to look into it more, why don’t you join me for the ride and we’ll just see what happens in a world where you can get paid to Blog your life away. Hitch your wagon here: http://r.yuwie.com/owengreaves/

LOL! As you can tell I don’t get out much 🙂
What Constitutes an E-Mail Business Record
I don’t recall when I wrote this or if it belongs to someone else but it is an important thing to keep in mind none the less.
 Not every message that enters or leaves the organization’s e-mail system is a business record. E-Mail containing information about lunch appointments, work group discussions, and administrative notices are examples of messages that probably do not have to be managed as “official” business records and may be discarded when no longer needed.
 The organization’s welfare depends on your ability to distinguish business records from nonessential to the annual company picnic has considerably less value than an external e-mail in which a contractor agrees to complete a specific project for an agreed-on fee. While the picnic announcement has little significance after the event, the contractor’s message may be needed in the future to hold the contractor to his price quoted or settle disputes over the quality or scope of work performed. Consequently, the contractor’s message is a business record and should be treated as such.
When it comes to business records, management faces a twofold challenge:
(1)Â You must establish a clear definition of a business record to protect the business and legal interests of the organization.
(2) You must communicate that definition clearly and consistently to all employees to ensure that the definition is applied properly, e-mail is managed effectively, and the organization’s legal interests are served.
The result: Valuable information is retained, and useless information that would otherwise overburden your system is purged.
Nanotechnology & Social Networking
Imagine if Social Networking was controled by nanotechnology, millions of nanobots monitoring and fixing issues in the social network. Could nanobots be used to censor your posts and comments, will big brother be watching your every word through nanotechnology? How would you know?
Ray Kurzweil predicts that one day in the very near future we will merge with technology, yes, we will be one with our handheld devices, the Internet and so on. Ray wrote a book many years ago called “ The Singularity is Near“, which really talks about nanotechnology prolonging our lives and we human beings becoming machines, that’s the scary version from me. The book is more interesting than that but let’s cut to the quick.
So if we were to be merged with technology, how would our Social Network’s function, if you had a thought, would it be posted on Twitter & Facebook just because you had the thought? That may be overly simplistic but it’s a picture of how it might work.
There is very little being said about this merging of nanotechnology (The New Technology), which I find bothersome and yet energizing. Ray articulates this thoery far better than I ever can, he also has 15 doctorites and what have you, I’m just a guy who loves people first and technology somewhere down the line.
This is just a glimpse of what is yet to come, one of the many reason’s I’m writing and researching for my eBook The New Technology – The End of Mankind. Is it the dawn of the end for mankind, are we empowering machines, nanobots to think and act? Again, overly simplistic, but there needs to be a body that oversees the development and use of The New Technology we’ll know as Nano-technology.
Whether you agree or disagree, our Social activities will change sooner than you think and Virtual Reality is where we will spend most of our time.
