There are around 860 satellites in operation by more than 40 countries. The total weight of materials orbiting earth is around 5000 tonnes.
The world's largest civil satellite is the Hubble Space Telescope.

Imagine if this weight came on to our head!

I had a friend e-mail to tell me to sign up for face book and I hadn't because I thought I couldn't do it . But today I did manage to register with my manager Wendy Andrew's help and was elated about my little progress.Ieven found the friend who had asked me to join and sent him an e-mail. I think it's a great site to meet people you havent in a long time . Might meet some new friends.

My brain, in today's world

10 October 2007
I have this constant battle with an intelligent brain trying to cope with the quick moving technologies of the modern world. I don't know if anyone else faces the same problem; but I sure do. Just as I think I have grappled with one problem on the computer and sorted how to work around it , another one pops up like the seven headed monsters of lore. The variety of mobile phones and the services they offer are so mind boggling I don't know where to start. Anyway I shall call it a day to my moaning, and rest my poor brain tonight before I start on the next post on blogging.
