Did you know?

The video by Karl Fisch titled "Did You Know" is very interesting. I watched it in full screen on youtube here. The video was full of facts concerning the necesity of technology in future generations. All throughout the video facts are given regarding google searches, average number of jobs and computer usage in other countries. One of the facts I found most interesting was that 100% of 2006 high school graduates in India spoke English. There is also a laptop program designed to help give laptops to underpriviledged children in different countries.
Another interesting fact about the video was all the information it gave regarding other countries' technology usage. It tried to put an optimistic spin on the issue of "outsourcing". It is a fact that other countries' education system is preparing them for job experiences that our education system does not prepare us for. Instead of being dissatisfied about this fact, we should look at it as an opportunity to better our education and perhaps learn from other countries.
