air is currently the fastest form of transportation. Of course, like other
forms of transportation, there have been improvements in speed, luxury, and
safety of airplanes over the years. One question you may have forgotten to

Want an internet library? Try this social site...
Posted by Olumide Samuel on 5:09 AM
Social media
sites are known for connecting people, but over the years, it cannot be argued
that a load of information has been passed through the popular social media
sites. Social media sites take a chunk of the time people use online which
makes it a very important part of the internet experience. People now spend 20%
of the time online on social media sites according to Nielsen at the end of
2012. Experian Marketing Services put the value at 27% in April.

Tecno can dominate Nigerian smartphone market, and this is how
Posted by Olumide Samuel on 1:03 AM
When Tecno
initially came into Nigeria, it was responsible for the production of cheap
mobile phones you’d call substandard at best (they’re popularly called China
phones). In a good move though, Tecno has since restrategized and has become an
android vendor which has given a cheap alternative to the expensive high end
smartphones.

The insanely intelligent genius called Albert Einstein
Posted by Olumide Samuel on 12:10 PM
In case you have not heard of him before; a case I would
consider to be rare, there was a man who once lived between the late 19th
century and mid-20th century.
He developed the theory of special relativity, general relativity;
he discovered the law of photoelectric effect, and the mass-energy equivalence
formula E=mc2 which is dubbed “the world’s most famous equation”
He was so prominent that he is generally considered as the
most influential physicist of the 20th century.
This same man won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921 for
his explanation of the photoelectric effect.
