Evan Trembley is Missing, Isn't He?

When I first read this message about how a boy from Canada named Evan Trembley went missing, I felt sorry for the mother who seemed to be sending out the message. I wanted to help them and hoped for the best for Evan. The mother said she wanted to help get people to find him by circulating the message over the Internet. It seemed as if it was true. The story sounded believable, and yet...
There were clues. There was no contact info, the description of the disappearance was very vague, and there were many sites all over the web denying the validity of this message. The email address that was provided was not a full or valid address, and the supposed police officer that had sent this message FROM TEXAS was not real either. Also, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children had no record of anyone named Evan Trembley. It had turned out that Evan Trembley himself had forwarded this message over the Internet, although his friends had seemed to have started it. He wasn't really missing, the message was a lie that had been started as a prank, although how it is funny I do not know. I think it's horrible that we have to question whether or not information on the Internet is valid and reliable. Why would people post lies? I don't think that this is a serious crime, as it has no major effect on most people, but it is definitely, to some degree, harassment of anybody involved who is posted about involuntarily.

OMG...

It's scary.

This video has completely opened my eyes, but the scary part is, it's ALL VERY TRUE. Talk about overpopulation, 34 babies are born worldwide every 8 seconds, 5 of which are in India and 4 of which are in China. It also disturbed me that the highest standard of living, strongest educational system, and richest place in the world was found in Great Britain...over 100 years ago. Also, I was deeply affected that over 2 billion children live in developing countries, where 1 in 5 never even finishes the fifth grade. Most of all, I was, well, shocked, but somehow not the least bit surprised, to find that by 2013, the computation abilites of a supercomputer will exceed those of the human brain, and that, if all predictions are correct, a those of a $1000 computer will exceed those of the human race by 2049...

It's scary.
