"shift Happens"

I was shown this video by my IT teacher not too long ago, it explains the world and what predictions are to shape the world in the years to come. I was amazed by the video, other's weren't too sure, so I thought I'd post up and just see what you lot thought?

Linky :)

That really wasn't that good...

Agreed, a bunch of useless facts some of which weren't even correct.

"e-paper will be cheaper than real paper"...

What the hell does that even mean? E-paper is a non-physical entity, of course its going to be cheaper it isn't a real thing. Its created via technological means and as such you've paid for the machine not the "e-paper". Its free... OF COURSE SOMETHING FREE WILL BE CHEAPER!

I think i'm just annoyed that i wasted 6 minutes of my life looking at a slide show of what could be considered merely speculation at best. I feel hard done to because it could have summed it all up in this short phrase "the technological world is evolving at a geometric rate". Well really, no shit sherlock :angry:

I got to 0:46 before I didn't take it seriously.

"The 5% of the population in China with the highest IQ's, ......is greater than the total population of the UK."

Two things here, if you watch it you will find the pie chart is showing 25% not 5%.

And while the statement makes China sound smarter, of course its true, if there is more people in a population then it is likely to have more intelligent people in that population.

Population of China; 1,321,851,888.

Divded by 5%

= 66 092 594.4 (more than the UK's population).

Let me watch the rest before I say if its good or not.

Look at a map, britain's always so cold, and Spain's only down there a bit! ;)

Video was pretty crap to be honest. To me it just seemed like a bunch of made up 'facts'. Was it supposed to make me question life or make me go 'ooh wow!' because it really didn't. :sleeping:
