You Thought You Knew.

This video, Did You Know is trying to educate viewers about the world both present and future. It tells us what we might expect from computers computing power in the future, how many more college graduates other countries contain, how much of the world speaks English, and so on.

The first statement that caught my attention was ” In 10 years it is predicted that the number one English speaking country in the world will be China.” It is strange to think that another country other than the United States would be the number one English speaking country even with such a large population like China’s.

The second statement that got my attention was “The U.S. Department of Labor estimates that today’s learners will have 10 to 14 jobs by their 38th birthday.” That would mean In twenty years I will have eight to twelve jobs. Being a student that is a lot to think about. A lot of the time out of high school we are told to go and find a job we like and stick with it or maybe transfer one or two times.

 Finally the most eye catching statement to me was “If Myspace was a country it would be the eighth largest in the world.” That is an insane number of people signed up to one website. Myspace really is the new “hot spot.”
