There is nothing I can do that would make this video any better.....:-(
Anyhow, this video was first broadcast on Soviet television in 1976 and song by Russian baritone singer Eduard Khil. After retiring from a singing career, Khil slowly faded into obscurity in his later years. In 2010, Khil reclaimed the spotlight when he became the subject of the viral "Trololo" Internet meme on YouTube, featuring a 1976 video of a vocalized version of the song, "I Am Glad I'm Finally Going Home".
Since first uploaded on the net on November 26, 2009; this video has been viewed by over 4,139,000 + times and over 10,000,000 times through dozens of similar videos showing the same 1976 performance.
Here are 100s of funny comments about this "Trololo" tune.
With Twitter hitting 50 million tweets per day, Facebook passing the 400 million user mark earlier this year, and YouTube viewers watching 1 billion videos per day; the top Internet social-media properties have some very impressive stats. But what are the stats for the whole Internet with all the net properties combined?
Well, take a good hard look at Jesse Thomas' video "State of the Internet". Thomas created and animated this video with data and verified references from multiple sources — highlighting some remarkable figures and visually depicts the Internet as we know it today (late 2009 - early 2010). This is a must-see video for anyone who would like to grasp their mind around just how massive Internet technologies figures have become in our daily lives.
You can watch the video below, but here are some interesting stats and figures from the video:
- There are 1.73 billion Internet users worldwide as of September 2009.
- There are 1.4 billion e-mail users worldwide, and on average we collectively send 247 billion e-mails per day. Unfortunately 200 billion of those are spam e-mails.
- As of December 2009, there are 234 million websites.
- Facebook gets 260 billion page views per month, which equals 6 million page views per minute and 37.4 trillion page views in a year.
Now, wait till the mobile-web really takes off by 2015 or sooner.

Long before anyone had heard of the Internet, early home computer users could read their morning newspapers online ... sort of. Steve Newman's 1981 story was broadcast on KRON television station in San Francisco.
Written by a technology blogger on January 29, 2009.
“Imagine, if you will, sitting down to your morning coffee, turning on
your home computer to see the day’s newspaper. Well, it’s not as
far-fetched as it may seem.”
Thus begins this video of a 1981 KRON report predicting the rise of news reporting on the internet.
You need to see this, it’s pure gold.
My favorite quotes:
David Cole (S.F. Examiner): “This is an experiment. We’re trying to figure out what it’s going to mean to us, as editors and reporters and what it means to the home user. And we’re not in it to make money, we’re probably not going to lose a lot but we aren’t going to make much either.”
KRON reporter: “This is only the first step in newspapers by computers. Engineers now predict the day will come when we get all our newspapers and magazines by home computer, but that’s a few years off.”
This article was written by Robin Wauters (owns home computer).
