The Videos that interest me over the Internet, could be Viral videos or Animated or 'Something to learn from' or Just plain funny. Not meant to offend anybody.
The latest edition of Best of Web is out (2016 - 9th Edition). This is one of the compilation of what the web has to offer. For this edition 367 videos from year 2016 have used.

Volvo trucks show off their Volvo FH truck's technology by demonstrating the performance of D13 engine and I-shift Dual Clutch Gearbox. The whole Live Test was set up and fully supervised with precision stunts. The professional Para-glider, Guillaume Galvani and the 12 year veteran Volvo truck driver, Louise Marriott pulled off this live test.
The Volvo Trucks team has been teasing us with their teasers and trailer for the last 6 days.
The impressive thing about Volvo Trucks live tests are that they do get the point across about the performance and the latest technology being used in the field of transportation. We get to see how the trucks function in different circumstances and what one is getting into.
It is amazing to see a Para-glider (professional) gliding using the back of a Volvo Truck and enjoying a joy ride all the way uphill even under a bridge (all performed under strict supervision - so don't try this as extreme sports). I am sure the experience by the driver was a new one (also a memorable one) as one does keep the truck load in mind but definitely not a flying passenger that too behind the truck.
During one of the previous Live Tests by Volvo Trucks, 'The Epic Split' and others; one of the kids watching the JCVD's The Epic Split stated that the advertisement is great as it wants me to purchase not one but two Volvo trucks to perform the Epic Split. (That was definitely hilarious as a different perspective was put forth).

Now the whole purpose of the Flying Passenger Live Test - how does the performance and new technology of Volvo be explained. Have a look at the video below to understand the Consistent speed and uphill battle that takes place to keep everything synchronised.

GoPro has been bringing their A game in portable high definition cameras. Their latest upgrades have not been disappointing. Examples: Waterproofing for certain depth which helps a lot during surfing, kayaking, swimming, jet-skiing and others. Another amazing feature of their Hero5 is the LCD which was missing previously due to their compact size and power backup. They have maintained their quality and upped their game in the video features also. The latest addition to the GoPro is Karma - flying drone with stabilizer. Have a look at the amazing video which was completely shot on GoPro Hero5.
GoPro entering the drone game with Karma puts up another angle to an amazing development in drone technology. Along with other amazing drone technology companies, the prices, features, weight reductions, stabilizers, size reductions and sound reductions will keep getting better and better as time moves on.
GoPro has also worked at the software angle with putting out GoPro Plus which has been updated and upgraded with some more better features for the desktop and mobile devices.

Cellphone related accidents have risen over the years and are at its peak. People spending time on their cellphone is on the rise, therefore more and more are being used in daily routines. Walking and travelling on different modes of transportation like buses, taxis, subways, trains, airplanes and others have become a common sight to see.

But as statistics show, more number of accidents are on the rise due cellphone usage. Below is a video of Responsible Young Drivers (RYD) Belgium. where under control environment, the drivers are asked to type a text while driving. I am sure the point went across to the drivers.
Recently a video has been put up by New Zealand transport agency with regard to the awareness of phone texting. The use of Lionel Richie's Hello to convey the message about putting the life of the passenger first is amazing. The main message to convey is Drive Phone free.
A similar video like RYD Belgium awareness video was made by AT&T to educate teens about driving while texting. These video cover the message in a positive or a lighter tone compared to PSA videos which show the horrific condition if one gets into an accident due to cellphone usage.
