Did You Know? No I did not know.

Did you know, China will soon become the largest english speaking country in the world? I didn't until our teacher showed my class a video on all of these insane things that are going on in the world. The video made me understand technology is becoming more and more advanced faster then you can imagine. So quickly that in 2013 there will be a 1000$ computer smarter then any human brain. It seems almost impossible.

The education world is changing. If your starting a four year technology course in college, everything you learn in the first year will be outdated by the third year of learning. It's ridiculous to think that the people in the course will have to switch everything they have learned, because of the new technologies. Preparing the learners today for jobs that don't yet exist seems a but farfetched. It's all changing so fast that we won't have the time to learn these things if we don't start now. Our world is changing so rapidly I find it near impossible that it will really happen.

Worldwide web is dominating earth. 200 million people on myspace? If that were a country it would be the fifth largest in the world. The question I was suppost to answer was, "What does it all mean" and to tell you the truth I have no idea what it means. The world is doing fine the the way it is so why do we need to change all of this. Computers smarter then the brain? We should be worrying about the important things. People are dieing in Africa of starvation and here in Canada we've got couples meeting online. So what does it all mean? You tell me.
