About Me

Travelalot, Vic, Qld, Cali, Australia
Like making old things new again. Enjoy working on a far away big tree/cow farm vs inner city digital stuff and with the NBN that's changing, creative lifestyles and digital content businesses. I have 4 degrees in psychology, media, literature, librarianship, management and business including a business PhD that explored how tech created opportunities in the music sector (as a lead indicator to other content sectors). Am fascinated by how people use digital stuff and emerging uses. Slow living, reject unreal or fast lifestyles, I like to know all about what I eat. Maintaining a professional hatred and boycott of Farcebook. Confused about whether to write in 1st or 3rd person on this site. Love animals and have always had them around - cows, horses, chooks, cats, dogs, sheep, goats, camels, budgies. Met lots of snakes too. Enjoy aesthetic immersion and favourite era is 1940-1959. Music obsessive not impartial to late nights watching bands. blah blah blah

Google search results

the way Google search results are increasingly retrieving results from encyclopedia.com and 'highbeam research', both of which offer only the first paragraph of an article to which users must either $ubscribe or pay US$8 or similar to access the full story is really starting to 'disenfranchise' me.....  Have they brought in this change over Christmas quietly thinking noone (or fools like me) is working?




Lucky I can use other means to get full text free....

and, what's the name again of alternative search engines?????
