You Tube-"Did You Know?"

Wow! This is the first thought that comes to my mind after viewing You Tube- “Did You Know?” Hold onto your hats; the world is moving forward by leaps and bounds. Technology is advancing in the United States, but apparently not at the accelerated rate as it needs to be. In this video, it is suggested that students starting a four year technical degree will be taught information that will become obsolete. This is due to the fact that half of what they learn, in their first year of study, will be outdated by their third year of study. Does this mean the knowledge they obtained will become useless information?

In addition, I find it hard to comprehend that in 40 years a mere $1,000 will buy you a computer that will exceed the computational capabilities of the entire human species. When the calculated year arrives and if I am still alive, I will be the first to Google….”What is the cure for Cancer?”
