Did you know?

After watching this video, I thought a lot about the information provided. There were many different facts that I found interesting, but a few stuck in my mind. I think the first fact to catch my attention was that in 2010, China will be the largest English-speaking country in the world. Living in America, I find that so odd. I was shocked to hear this. To me, this would be like America being the largest Chinese speaking country in the world.

As I watched on, there was also was amazed that students in a four year university for technology are basically wasting their first year of school. Due to the speed of technology advancements, the information that they learn the first year of school will be outdated by their third year of school. It is a little disheartening when you think about the time, energy, and money students put into that first year of education.

Overall, I have to admit this video made me somewhat sad. I think about when I was a child growing up. My parents were my hero and knew everything. Then I think about children in today’s age. In most cases, these children are going to grow up in an age where they know more than their parents do. Who will they look up to?
