Did You Know?

I enjoyed the youtube Video, "Did You Know?" I found it to be fascinating information regarding daily life exposures we take for granted. It put facts in point blank perspective, by stating information calculated out by educated people who have studied these various amounts of statistical data.
There were several statements that impressed me. “India has more honor kids then the USA has kids.” An amazing statement, seeing I never thought India had that type of education available, and children that bright—to compare to our culture and education. I realized Europe leads in the educational field in many ways, but India, that was a surprise.
Another statement was made, “People will have had 10-14 jobs by age 38.”
That statement amazes me, because I thought people were more knowledgeable about their field of interest, and what they desired to do in the working field. This statement leads me to believe we do not know what we actually wanted to educate ourselves in, therefore we change jobs, or careers often. Or does that mean a person is constantly striving to self improve, or financially attain a goal, or exactly what? I really do not know that answer.
“31 billion searches on Google every moment,” was another statistic I was amazed at. I realize people use Google for information on all levels, but 31 billion every moment.Wow!
“China is the #1 English speaking country,” was another surprise. I would have guessed it was Spain, because Spanish is the second desired language to learn beside English.
Another fact that took me aback was, “There are 540,000 English language words.”
It seems the number of our words in English would be higher, that seemed very low to me.
The fact that really upset me was, in the technical field, “Half of what they learn the 1st year of study will be outdated by their 3rd year of study.” What a waste of knowledge learned, that will be outdated before one graduates. Everyone knows you always learn new things on a daily basis, but to know what you have studied as your major to be totally outdated before you graduate is outlandish. Actually very sad to think everything is progressing at that tremendous speed.
The video on youtube went so quickly I had to look at it several times to grasp the information I was interested in. I know this video was put together at a fast tempo to concretely illustrate the fact, technology increases at a rapid rate, and this video was assembled to demonstrate that actuality. The facts I observed surprised and upset me at the same time. I wish the world could slow down a little bit.
