Something Interesting

While browsing the internet I came across a really interesting discovery and I just had to find a way to incorporate it into this subject somehow. But before I go on describing my finding, I have to give some background information first.
An aspect of theatre that is not as well known is the competitive aspect.  In high schools all across America, they hold One Act competition plays in which kids hold a 35 minute, maximum, play that is then critiqued by judges and given a score to potentially advance, then to state and so on.  It is very similar to a sport in regards to all of the additional rules that must be followed. Since the play will be disqualified upon exceeding the time limit of 35 minutes, each school must make their set as mobile and light as possible.
Now, having presented that knowledge, I can continue.  While browsing the internet I happened across a tiny little article describing how the internet had weight. My first thought was how is this possible, but then I looked more into it and it talked about an email containing all these electrons and those electrons have a very miniscule weight. Small, but still there.  How does this relate to theatre, you may be asking. Well, although it doesn't weigh much, it is still adding on to the already heavy set that a school may have brought along with them. I know when I was in the competition, my school had brought a heavy set and that extra weight may have just mentally set us over the edge. In addition, there was an allotted time to set up everything, so the extra weight would've just slowed us down and could've take us over the 35 minute time limit.

I hope anyone reading this enjoyed it as much as I did happening upon this information. Some things we just look past, without a second glance. It was really interesting to delve into this a bit further.
