Connectors and connecting the dots
I stumbled upon an article which defines the notion of connector and what a connector does in a networking-oriented society like ours. A connector is someone who shows genuine willingness in communicating with others and a passion for meeting and knowing new people.

Yes, I am referring to the CES, also know as the International Consumer Electronics Show, which is closed to the public and only open to the “insiders”. Among super-thin tablets which mostly have been dominating the event, I am quite intrigued by the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) tablet long-time project run by the visionary Nicholas Negroponte:

Hello Creatures!!
Welcome to my blog beautiful and knowledge-sucker creatures. Generally, the first post does worth nothing and it is there to suggest the idea that lots is going no behind the scene….Well, you might be disappointed, then!
