The Virtual Revolution

I've just taken the "What kind of web species are you" test on the BBC's Virtual Revolution website. Turns out I'm a 'Web Bear' - Slow and steady wins the race!

The site is based on the show for BBC 2 which incidentally has just finished. Hosted by Dr Aleks Krotoski, the program explores the technology boom in recent years, focusing on how the internet begun and has since changed our lives irreversibly.

"It is an empowering tool that has more potential than any other that human civilisation has ever developed".
Al Gore

Slow-moving - Web Bears like you browse the internet at a leisurely pace - just like real world bears who like to take their time over things.

Solitary - Like real bears, Web Bears tend to be solitary animals. Your results show that when you are looking for information, you are less likely to use social networks or other sites whose content is created by its users, preferring instead to go it alone.

Adaptable - Web Bears are highly adaptable multitaskers, able to do several things at the same time. Real-bears are also very flexible, particularly in their diet, and will eat fish, insects, salmon and even scavenge in human refuse for new sources of food.

Here Dr Aleks Krotoski interviews the great Steven Fry for the BBC's 'Virtual Revolution'...

The Django by Levi Pinfold

The Django is an extraordinary story from debut author-illustrator Levi Pinfold. The story was inspired by the life of jazz legend Jean 'Django' Reinhardt.

---

"Once, I met a Django.
A what?
A Django. It's like a thing. A sort of it. A kind of cozzler that can easily find trouble.
It was standing inside our home one day, staring at Papa's banjo and saying, "Cor, lovely!"

---

The story of The Django reminds me of those classic childrens story books that stay with you forever if you were lucky enough to have your parents read it to you as a child (over and over again!). The book is beautifully illustrated from cover to cover and the story keeps the magic of The Django alive.

GOBBLE-O GOBBLE-O!
