The Internet - A Primer

Check this out.









This happened in 2010 sometime. I walk into a boardroom and this was all that was written on the whiteboard. It was a large whiteboard in a large boardroom - one of those fancy ones with leather seats.

Sheesh, who did this? And why? Here's a few things I can think of:

It could have been the Marketing Dept
"Ok, as(Company X)marketing team, we need to figure this stuff out. Let's do a thorough brainstorm about this new Internet product the IT guys are going on about. Heck by the end of this discussion we'd cost the company at least R10 000 but the slide-deck will be awesome! These seats are comfy."

It could have been the IT Dept
"What should the proxy block today?"


It could have been a Father/Son lesson
"And that's how I met your mother...she had an awesome profile at first, but yeah she let it go over the years...anyways, let's get a beer."

It could have been a Father/Daughter lesson
"And this is what the Internet is and these sites are evil...yeah I mean you definitely do not want to be a teen mom...yeah...anyways, let's get a milkshake."

I guess we'll never know what the discussion was about. Whatever.
