Wow, some amazing peices of information there. Some which left me laughing and some which has got me thinking.
Which stat surprised you the most?
The number of babies born in the different countries during the course of the presentation.
How do you feel now after viewing all these stats? Should we be worried about the future?
Well, I always knew that we live in the age of the internet/computer now. Without it, I guess we're lost. So no, I'm not so much as worried, more like intrigued. Intrigued at how much humans has accomplished, how much more humans can accomplish. But, saying that, we must remember to never leave mankind behind. I guess that's what worries me the most, the time when a machine will be given more importance than a humans.
The video mentions, that in an IT program the stuff that students learn in year 1 will be useless when their in year 3. Your take on this.
That's quite and interesting fact. My job entails me to be on a computer 24/7. When I think I've learnt the tricks of the trade, someone will always come up and shows me a newer/better version of doing it. It never fails to amaze me how much we're progressing. So yes, what someone is learning now maybe of no use in three years time. But it is necessary to learn it, then you can grasp other things on a similar face. If you know what I mean!
