Did You Know 3.0

The video "Do You Know 3.0" was a very shocking video. It made me realize just how far we have come technilogically. In the video it said that the "New York Times" has more information in it than a person living in the eighteenth century could acquire in a lifetime. It is unbelieveable how much more informain a person living today can acquire. With the help of technology such as the internet, information is at everyone's fingertips. With newspaper, radio, books, TV, and internet I can only imagine how much more the average person of today knows than the the average person living in the eighteenth century knew.

The video pointed out that during the time it took to watch the video, 67 babies were born in the U.S., while 274 were born in China, and 395 were born in India. It is no wonder why China produces so much more technology than the U.S. does, the Chinese have a much larger population! The video also said that China has more honor students than the U.S. has children. This fact only makes my statement even more true.

In the video, it said that by 2013 there will be a computer that will be more powerful than the human brain. This scares me a little. What will this mean for the way we do things now? How will it affect our lives? I guess these are questions than can only be answered when than time comes, but until then, I am going to be more aware of how technology affects my life.

This video was not only shocking, but it was eye-opening. I think that everyone should watch this video because it reveals a lot of things that most people may not realize. Withought technology where would our world be? The technology that has been developed has made life much easier than before it was invented. The internet lets us communicate with friends, family, teachers, and classmates. Without it this class would not exist in the way we know it.
