Did You Know 3.0

        Thursday in class we were told to watch the video "Did You Know 3.0" and everybody was told to pick out two facts from the video and explain why it was interesting to them. One thing I thought was interesting was how we are preparing for jobs that haven't been invented yet. This is interesting to me because this demonstrates how fast things are moving in the world today. For example, Apple is the largest company in all of history and wasn't even a company a decade ago. Another fact that surprised was was that a weeks worth of New York Times contains more information than a person was likely to come across in the 18th century. This is interesting because it shows how information back then did not get spread very far or very quickly and now, when something happens, people know about it (depending on the importance) within the next few hours or days. Whereas back then, by the time someone received the information about something it has probably became false. So these facts show how change is over time and how technology is a big part of the world today.
