Shift Happens

The "Shift Happens" video on Youtube is one of my favorite videos I have ever seen. I have actually seen that in my sociology class. It was an older version, so the facts and figures in this video are more accurate. I love to think about things like that. Especially the effects of technology growing so rapidly. In this newer version, there were more statistics about college students. I found that interesting because I always think about where I will be when I graduate. Some of those statistics can be scary to think about. The extremely fast rate at which the population grows is alarming. I always find it weird when other countries have a large English speaking population. Thinking about those things make me think the world is coming to an end. It also makes me very interested in what is going to happen next. Some of the statistics even suggest that people decades ago would have never predicted things to be the way they are today, but experts continue to make predictions about what may happen in the years to come. Maybe they will be way off too, and things will be mass chaos. Who knows? I guess we will see.
