The numbers don't lie.

After viewing the Did You Know video, I was astonished at the information contained in it. I have personally been amazed at what has happened technologically since I was born, and am amazed even further knowing what is to come. If the facts and figures in that video are correct, then we as a society need to really evaluate our lives, and re-exam the way we learn. Students of the future are going to have it a lot tougher then we did as children. Furthermore, the adults of tomorrow will find it even more difficult to maintain knowledge of ever expanding technologies, just to keep up.

My only fear from watching this video, and hopefully everyone else as well, should be that will the education system be able to afford to keep up with the changing technology, and can they afford not to? According to the video currently we are already behind India in higher I.Q.s, and China has the technology to provide more services with their fiber optic cables. If you haven't viewed this video or would like to be amazed at the facts and figures visit this site, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpEnFwiqdx8. My hope is that we can learn from this video and strive for a successful future.
