As you can see from the above picture, different Sesame Street characters were integrated into Google's homepage picture! Last week was Sesame Street's 40th anniversary! I enjoyed Sesame Street as a kid. It is an powerful education tool which is sometimes funny (see The Grouch), can be a little annoying (see "Elmo's World" theme song), and apparently used to be unhealthy (see the fact that Cookie Monster now eats veggies).
I found it interesting that only a couple weeks ago, another powerful, funny, educational, and sometimes unhealthy and annoying tool celebrated it's 40th anniversary - the internet. The information we have at our fingertips these days is amazing. It's also amazing the amount of distraction and procrastination which as been wrought upon our society. This post is a direct product of both the information available and the distraction and the procrastination.
In honor of these two entities which has already begun to shape a current generation simultaneously, in one of your not so free moments, do a Google search on Sesame Street and see what the power of the internet can bring you.
