The Dingle Peninsula, Ireland

The Dingle Peninsula is a piece of absolute beauty in a country that has no shortage of beautiful spots. The peninsula is a combination of rough sea eroded cliffs, mountains, beaches and Islands which are all inter woven with traditionally small Irish villages. You could easily pass a day driving around the Dingle Peninsula absorbing everything you see. If you are visiting Ireland, the trip to Dingle is well worth it.

This is one of the few natural Irish speaking areas left in Ireland (Gealteacht), and many Irish school children come here during the summer to learn their national language in preparation for their state exams. For the children, this is as much an educational trip as a social exercise.

Among the most beautiful things about the Dingle Peninsula are the Blasket Islands, which in the authors view, hold a certain mystic of an Ireland past. While these Islands were inhabited until the 1950s, they are now a tourist attraction and a place of absolute beauty and worthy of an article in their own right. As the sun sets of the west coast of Ireland, the Blasket Islands are a truly unique sight.

Connors Pass is the old mountain road between Dingle and Tralee which offers up spectacular views over the peninsula. This is a small winding road that is simply magnificent no matter what the weather conditions are. If you are lucky enough to get a nice day, there are some great places to get out of the car and stretch your legs with a walk.

Dingle itself is a village with a character of its own. It is a working harbour town that now enjoys massive tourist revenue. Here you can enjoy the best of Irish Sea food with a pint of Guinness in a traditional Irish bar while Irish music is being played. Dingles most famous resident is Fungi the bottlenosed dolphin who lives in the harbour. He rarely fails to show and there are several boats that sell tickets to visit Fungi every hour.

Changing Channel - The Growing Popularity Of Broadband Television

What do you like watching on television? Whether you prefer talent shows, reality TV, movies or sports, you can find a channel for everything nowadays.

Although the age-old concept of watching the TV as a family may have changed over the years, many of us remain glued to our sets as we catch up on soap operas and award-winning documentaries.

And now more of us are making use of our broadband connections in order to watch television. With the rise of video-sharing websites such as YouTube and the introduction of applications that will allow you to watch programs from a certain channel, we now have a greater degree of choice in both what we watch and when we watch it.

Internet television has seen huge advances and growing popularity since it was launched, and now more television stations around the world are making use of the trend, combined with the growing popularity of cheap broadband in order to capture viewers.

And with more of us making use of the internet in our everyday lives, we have been given the chance to escape the sofa and watch programmes we've missed without the use of expensive set-top boxes.

With a wide range of subjects available for viewing, from sporting events to political debates, it has never been easier to access up-to-date information and programmes at times that suit us, all from the comfort of our laptops.

And as technology becomes more advanced, both online and offline, internet television continues to develop, with some services offering features such as user interaction whilst viewing programs - without covering up the screen with annoying pop-ups and disrupting the viewing experience

So now, as well as viewing high-quality videos on a full screen, viewers can now not only search for biographies on actors, information on places seen on screen, but also jump to certain parts of scenes by using keywords.

In order to make the most of such services, it is advisable to make sure your connection is up-to-speed through use of a broadband speed test.

As technology develops, more of us are making use of affordable computers and laptops, cheaper broadband and a wide range of online services. And as more of us turn to watching television online, could this perhaps be a turning point for 'couch potatoes'?

Looking for better broadband? Perform a broadband speed test and compare cheap broadband providers to find a deal that suits you.
