Did You Know

I found the first video (did you know?) to be quite educational. if nothing else, the right here right now music sure did pump me up. I thought the video covered all kinds of cool and random facts about the world we live in today and how it has changed so drastically from the past. For one, I did not know than China is so close to being the number one most English speaking country in the world. Other facts I did not know were that 1 out 8 people married met online and that is pretty cool. I found all these things to be fascinating.

I found all of these random pieces of information in the video to be so interesting. My fascination with China is that China as a culture does a really good job staying true to their own culture, and at the same time adapting to other cultures. Another fact I found interesting was that 1 out of 8 people who were married met online; the only reason I thought this was interesting was because I give my friend a hard time for visiting those dating sites, and after watching the video, I kind of felt like a moron.

MR. WRINKLE WAKES UP

I really enjoyed this video. this video is simply about a man who wakes up from a very long nap. he wakes up to a new world that is very technologically forward. he wanders around for a while visiting different key features such as hospitals and different places where technology has changed such an importance to that area. throughout his revisit of a new world, he finds a class room and notices that it still looks the same as he remembers it.
I did like this video. I sure could relate to Mr. Wrinkle at times. I guess I haven't really subdued my self to today's advance technologies like I should have. I mean, I just bought my first computer last year, and just recently added an i pod to my collections. I will say it is cool having all these great technological things. its great for society. but sometimes it is nice to take a step back and remember where we were before computers. its pretty cool that the classroom, for the most part hasn't changed. Its also cool that teachers haven't been replaced by robots, cause that would just suck, period.

THE IMPORTANCE OF CREATIVITY

this video was simply about a man talking to an audience about creativity and technology. i thought
