Plans for establishing Yahoo data center in New York

Internet giants, Yahoo and State officials of America are working together in an attempt to establish a Yahoo data center at Western New York. Within that center, computer systems and other equipment would be housed.

State officials have accepted that such an act would not result in creating job opportunities. However collaborating with world renowned company would assist in other economic development efforts. Governor David Paterson has urged the New York Power Authority to come up with a low-cost power plan for Yahoo which would result in attracting Yahoo to the Buffalo area.

Why we prefer internet more than books

There has been a long time since the internet was invented but it did not take much time to get in to our lives and change it. Nowadays even students are told by their teachers to use internet to search for something rather than reading the book whole day long and searching for a little bit of info. Instead of “reading” you just “GOOGLE” it and now when the global googling is on the rise Google’s bank accounts are getting flooded with money!
Yes google may be the future of the internet.
What are the reasons behind it?
Our generation is becoming lazy and lazy and so they do not want to do the hard work of opening the book also. We just google it and that’s it in about ” 000.025 seconds” (according to google)
We get the results which we could find in about 3 hours. Actually this becoming popular and I too think so this is perfectly alright because we have to the most from the least i mean do as much as work you can in the least of the time given.
