Ever thought you might have a twin? Well think again you have 1,300 twins in China alone. "We are living in exponential times." Not only does China hold your 1,300 twins it will also soon become the number one English speaking country in the world. In this presentation created by Mr. Fisch, from the"Fischbow l" education feed, he shows how the world can't keep up with the ever so changing technologies in the modern world. Also in this presentation it says that knowledge of the human race will be out dated by a computer soon. Through this eight minute presentation sixty babies will be born in the U.S alone, 244 babies born in China and 351 babies born in India. These children that are being born are not only being introduced to the 540,000 word English language they are being brought into a word where people are being taught how to perform jobs that don't even exist yet. And parents think, us, children are safe when there are 100 million registered myspace users, as of August 2006, think again. Not only are there that many myspace users the average myspace page is viewed 30 times a day, by who knows what predator. Writers across the world are publishing 3,00 books per day.
I think that this world is growing to fast and society can't keep up to the dramatic changes. People are being taught about technology that doesn't exist and won't for another 20 years. For anyone who is learning in a four year curriculum (college) their knowledge will be out dated as of three years later. So by our senior year most of our freshmen learning will be outdated. And the amount of texts that are being sent/received everyday equal more than the planets population. People who are sending those texts are gaining more useless knowledge while almost sixty babies are born. Is the world bitting off more than anyone can chew? What will happen when no more technological advances can be made and no one is caught up to modern day civilization?
