Today we watched a video in class on how fast the world is changing. I never knew the world was changing so fast. If world is changing as this fast rate what would the future be like? This video amazed me and also had alot of affect on me.
- First the ways it took to reach an audenice of 50 million for different technology over the years. For tv it was 13 years, internet (4 years), ipods (3 years), and facebook (2 years) this affected me because those are all things I use almost everyday. I'm always on internet, watching tv, and listening to music. If facebook was a country it would be the 3rd most populated in the world. If myspace was a country it would be the 5th. Its amazing how technology grows everyday. Just image all the new technology there will be in the future.
- Also that India has more honor kids then Amercian has because I am a honor kid in Amercian competing with them.
- That there are 31 billion searches on Google every month this affected me because I use Google alot for many different things. For school work, to find pictures or maps ect.
- Also the number of text messages sent and recieved everyday, exceeds the total popualtion of the planet because I text my friends alot throughtout the whole day. I know alot of people do too and number recieved in a month is really amazing. 15 years this wasnt even possible. I can't wait to see whats in store for the furture.
