Shift Happens

This video really made me think about our society today and how unbelievable it is that new technologies are being developed and changes are occurring every second. It made me imagine how society will be in the future especially when the video talked about how in years there will be a computer that has the intelligence of a human and that it's a possibility that it can possibly in the future have the intelligence of the human race!! I was really stunned when I read the facts about how in India and China the amount of students in honor roll is the same amount as just regular students in the US and how Nintendo spent more money on funding their product than the government did on education. The video almost makes me nervous for the future because I think about how different things can be, how easier or more difficult it can make our lives and how much money will be spent. Globalization plays a huge role in society today so after watching this video, it makes me think that different countries will so easily work together to impact our economy. As far as the government and education goes, people really need to realize how these statistics impact society and how embarrassing it is that our government and funding is putting such little emphasis on education.
