Who is your favorite youtube trucker?

But....recording with a dascham or a headcam lets you capture the memory AND record it. If something were to happen (God Forbid) and one's memory began to lapse and/or fade, these recordings would be invaluable. Both of my kids (teens) are shutterbugs, and have MANY a memory on sticks and such. They allow me to see what I miss when I'm on the road, LoL! (like the squirrels in the birdfeeder; our pitbull chasing shadows of the hawk instead of the bird itself / he can't reach...LoL~!!!)

ps: they both got Go-Pro's for Xmas, i hate the cellphone recording dealy, as well. You'll miss the moment.

 

Check out Allie Knights trainee Dayummmmmmm

 

Didn't know she was still training; thought she was just "recruiting..." Are you sure the eye-candy isn't a ruse?!? .. ( JUST saying.......)

 

I thought that as well but good lord they did a good job at it. I would pay to train her LOL

 

Here is a classic example of a 5 minute fleeting cool moment for the memory banks which if not recorded would long be a black and white fading memory for me in the future. If not recorded, everyone involved, once dead, the event would be deleted from history and existence.

You ever hear somebody telling you a story and they say, "you had to be there" to understand it fully. What if he filmed it to compliment the story, so much more depth and substance gets carried over in this way.

Look at the old American Indian culture, mostly an oral history passed down through generations but somewhere along the lines somebody decided to take an animal skin and make markings on it to document the tribe history going forward.

In the classic Western culture people wrote books and painted on canvas which are still hanging in the Louvre.

Eastern and Middle Eastern cultures also laid down writings and artwork to remember the history.

The Egyptians 4000 years ago so wanted to leave their mark on time, they built great pyramids and sealed off vaults within that showcased grand hieroglyphics and artwork explaining their history and culture for the future generations.

Even this forum is a way for ordinary folks to come in and write about their life experience and mistakes to help the next generation do better by not making those same mistakes for example. In any case the stories are documented and preserved in text on this very site, notwithstanding some poor soul conjures up an 8 year old post to make a comment and 32 members come screaming into the thread to mention the thread is 8 years old over and over lol.

Think about the forum members who have posted over the years and are already gone for eternity. There words live on in the forum here. Think about the next short span of 10 years and how many of us will also not be here, but our words will live on as long as the forum lives on...

Youtube videologging is very much like writing a book for people who don't have the skills and the "who you know" to get published professionally. Just turn on a cheap camera and self publish your story. It is a wonderful medium that is pretty much brand new and filled to overcapacity with clowns but there are some real gems out there.

 

Nice teamwork, for sure. Yeop, stuff like that is priceless.

 

Anyone here watch LifeisGood? I really like his style of commentary and his 389 is a nice ride!
Life is Good.

 

The Internet in it's present form of presenting information in a way Humans can understand from basic machine binary will be around if properly run in whatever form it evolves to 10,000 years if not more.

I don't plan on being around much longer and not by choice. However I have managed to use some of that time to learn about the ancestry where possible and discovered that Baltimore City for example did not record marriages until roughly 1892 or so depending on which ward within the city started doing so. Prior to that you had the family bible or the church itself that recorded it in a book somewhere if that.

There was once a depository of records of a sort in our Young Nation roughly until the war of 1812. The British managed to burn most of it which we would consider the National Archives or the main depository of every American on paper at that time. Poof. Half of it if not more is all gone up in smoke when the British sacked DC.

In my family part of their history related to the Williamsburg area, dating to just about 1638 or so. You cannot go back beyond 1863 because Union Troops burned the main courthouse between Williamsburg and what is now Norfolk during their scorched earth operations against Richmond under McClellan on the Confederate Right at that particular Campaign. People did return after the war small bits of paper and documents to that courthouse having recognized the loss in valuable information that is needed by all of us.

Another part dates to Germany in Hesse, you have the ability to go back even further from 1820-1822 towards the 1550's roughly. We had emerged from the black death time period where no records were kept very well prior to that time. However Napoleon was responsible for his wars in 1803 that destroyed the entire economy of Kurfurst-Kurhausen and forced a emigration of 130,000 to America the new world and a new life and about 870,000 to Ukraine from that region of Am-Main and northward. I am part of that 130,000 who went to America. These are a people who were burned out. No way to farm, or work in a factory. All of that was absolutely destroyed in war, if they were not themselves killed or maimed in battle against him.

The internet had that information in time. And what information.

After we are all gone here in the future people will read this stuff and see the videos. They will understand very well what went on.

WHAT I do worry about is retaining our basic freedoms. The same internet with it's data is capable of being a double edged sword. You could use it to enslave a people unaware that there was once centuries and millenia long before there was a net. What is this net they would ask. Is it a toy? A past time? A waste? etc. I see it as a asset, but I could if I wanted to potentially see it as making chain, one link a time.

 

My favorite is that woman in Dallas that goes by the name Debbie.

 

What does she do?

Wait a minute..!
