Did You Know?
Have you watched the Sony Did You Know video yet? If you are an old timer who prefers to steer clear of the impending world domination of technology, perhaps this is not the video for you to be watching. This compilation of statistics portrayed by Scott McLeod, Karl Fisch and Jeff Brenman can alarm even the most techno-savvy person. After watching this video, there is no denying that we are becoming a virtual society powered and controlled by computers, cell phones and technology in general.
In one part of the presentation, they tell us that there are 31 billion searches on Google.com every single month. Then they ask, to whom did people address these questions before Google? This is quite an interesting question, and upon review of this video, one cannot help but wonder what we did in many areas of our lives before we had the internet, and computers to do all the work for us. What is more alarming are the facts that students are being prepared for new job positions that don’t even exist yet. What will happen to many of our jobs when this apparent new super computer comes into play?
Although incredibly interesting and captivating, and perhaps frightening to some, one cannot help but question this data. There is no way that any of these statistics could ever be 100% correct, and what about the information from the remote countries that do not even release these sorts of statistics? Watch the video for yourself, and you can determine whether we are living in a great technological age, or whether humans are creating their own end.
