Still from 'Around the World in 360 Degrees - 3 Year Epic Selfie' by Alex Chacon on YouTube
Gigglebit is Siliconrepublic’s daily dose of the funny and fantastic in science and tech, to help start your day on a lighter note.
Like any sector, technology has a serious side, and it is often issues within this serious side that make headlines or that organisations need to explore for their business. Malware! Data breaches! Cloud storage! Do I really need this software? Which candidate has the best IT skills for this job? And what the heck is fog computing?
With Gigglebit, we turn the spotlight on humorous and/or amazing content about science and tech, because sometimes the lighter side should be taken seriously, too.
Today, we have a video made by Alex Chacon, a GoPro and a sturdy stick. In an effort to make the most epic selfie ever, Chacon documented his motorcycle trip around the world from the subject-as-cameraman POV. His dizzying (and jealousy-inducing) 360-degree video takes in locations in over 36 countries over the course of three years and has been viewed almost 10m times on YouTube.
