Facts We Should Know

"Did You Know 3.0", is the 2008 latest edition from a meeting in Rome about the world's technology, population, and Internet changing at high speeds. Here is a list of some of the facts that were reported: There are many jobs that did not exist in 2004 that exist now, we are preparing students for jobs that do not exist, there are over 200 million people connected to MySpace, there are 694,000 songs downloaded illegally, the total number of text messages sent exceed the planets population, 31 million people log on to Google each year, and there is more information in the New York times that most people will see in over a year. Like mention above these are just a few facts that were shown on the video that most people should know about.

"Did You Know 3.0" is a great way to get much needed information out to the public. It is straight to the point which keeps it interesting. Having these facts available, keeps the public aware of what's going on in our world and country. I was very surprised by most all of the facts that were included in the video. I felt that the most interesting of all the facts, was the number of Google users. It is very true. Every time myself or any of my family members need an answer, we Google it. From recipes to health facts to sports information. It is all there for our information. But, where did we get these answers before Google? Has the world become solely dependant on the Internet? I am very glad this video was brought to the attention of our class. These types of videos will help change our country for the better.
