I think the video adressed a lot of issues that we need to really think about in order to not harm our environment in the future as much as we do now. It made me think about what I can do to help the other countries in the world. It also made me realize that there are a whole lot of smart people in China.

Technology is really important living in the twenty first century. My thoughts on the changes are I’m glad that we are moving forward with technology. Technology can help us in many ways and make things run smoother and faster. Technology is everywhere. I use the computer, television, DVD, and mp3 players. I also use the telephone, radio and many more things that have to do with technology. I probably use technology most of the day, especially when I come home from school. I think school should use more technology because kids like to use it and if we get to do homework and school work it makes it more fun. If the students are having fun and learning at the same time it’s a win, win situation. That is my thought on technology and how I use it.

This is an extremely interesting video. It shows that the USA, by a long shot isn't nearly as populated as some other countries around the world. This country having more money than most should be as dedicated to the education of people,
as the counties less fortunate do. More and more technology is being created, but very small amounts are being put into to a child's education. Once the technology does reach education world wide, the students will barely be able to keep up. Unless of course more money is being put toward today's academics. Technology is also very important, sice we have new technology, just using it the right way the world would be a lot more advanced. In conclusion everyone can change the academic world, so that jobs, math problems, etc. can be lead by the people of the 21st century. Even with the cons of technology, it still makes the world more capable for things in the future.

The video made me realize that the worlds changing fast and not everyone can keep up. I would like to help those other countries by helping them get updated in technology because it seem like from the video that it is updating to fast and some countries can't keep up with it. The population seems to be getting to be excedingly high and from what the video shows is that there are not enough jobs to get to everyone. China and india seem to have the most problem since the birthrate is rapidly increasing and less then all of them will get decent lives with everything that we can help them with. You can tell that its changing because i use the computer every day and i have a TV and a MP3 player so its very hard not to find newer technology.

This video really amazes me. I never knew that technology changes that often, and it will change even faster in the near future. I am excited to see what new things people come up with later on in my life. I use a lot of technology in my typical day. I probably use the computer the most. I don't just use this very helpful piece of technology at home; I also use it at school. I think it would be very helpful and useful if every student had his or her own laptop for school. We could access all of our books online, and we could e-mail our assignments to our teachers. Another piece of technology that I use a lot is the television. I watch it at home sometimes, and I also use it at school. Teachers can connect the computer to the television so students can see the things on the teachers computer screen. That is very helpful when our instructors are showing us educational videos from the internet. Technology has come a long way into the Twenty-First Century, and it still has a long way to go.

My thoughts on the video were that the world will soon be completely based on computers and machines other than people. Technology is present everywhere in life. People use computers, cell phones, mp3's, iPod's, etc.. everyday of their life. It is unbelieveable how much we rely on technology in this world. I use technology nearly everyday, ecspecially at school and home. I use it so much because it makes work so much easier and it takes up less time in the day. I beleive the school should have more technology because we have so many kids, but we only have one computer lab at our school for all of us. More technology at school would also make it funner for the kids to learn which would be preffered.

What this video means to me is whenever we get older most of world is going to be ran by electronic devices.Most of the world if not all probally will be ran by China because that country has a big population.The people in China are smarter than most people in other countries too.We should also worry about the population because if it get out of hand there won't be enough food to feed everyone. We are also harming the farmland so we could have food shortages too.India should also be worried about food shortages.The technology will help us but more should be put into education for children. That's why China's more educated beause they spend more on education than other stuff.

Franki P. said...

I really thought it was interesting watching this video and learning all of the facts about technology. It is really interesting that the internet brought people together and they got married. I wouldn’t be writing this right now if it weren’t for this computer. I also listen to my I-pod a lot and watch T.V. If it weren’t for technology I would be a wreck because It makes school work a lot easier and I love to IM my friends. So basically I use technology everyday. I would like to use technology in school by having the school provide us PDA’s, the students could also pitch in with helping the school. I would like to have PDA’s because we could go on line on them and it would help us if we had to do a certain assignment. Another thing we cold have instead of PDA’s are laptops because we could just to the same thing but the PDA’s are smaller. So really technology is really important in my life and in other people’s lives.

emily said...

I think that this video shows how much the world will grow in the next forty years. It also shows how China and India are way more populated than the U.S. China is also more intelligent than the U.S. Also, the technology shown in the video that we will have in just a few years is very advanced. The information that we will learn in collage will be outdated by the time we will need it. By the time we get to our careers our electronics will all be old and newer generations will already be made if not more than one generation.

I think that the video tells a lot of facts about what happens around the world. It shows that the world has changed, and it will keep changing as time goes on. I didn't realize how much technology has changed! Technology is used more that it used to be. When I was younger, I didn’t use technology at all that much, but now I live on the computer, my cell phone, and my iPod. I kind of glad that technology has improved because there wouldn’t be as much stuff! I really enjoyed this video because it lets me understand what is going on and how technology is improving!

I think that technology is great today. I also think that technology has improved over the years in many ways. Most people live on the internet most of the time, but not me. I never realized that 106 million people were registered on MySpace, and that if MySpace was a country it would be the 11th largest in the world! I use all of the technology, just not all of the time. I use the television, the phone, ipods, and computers, and much more. I know that people text a lot, but I didn’t know that every text sent and received everyday exceeds the population of the planet!

Gabby said...

I believe that the most important points made in the "Did You Know?" video are global awareness and change.China will soon have more English Speaking Citizens than the U.S.A. The number of babies born in China and India is huge compared to the U.S.A.

The changes described in technologyare huge. Doubling the amount of information every 72 hours is hard to belive. By the year 2010, we will be using totally new technology each day. The U.S.A. is only number 20 in broadband width. If we don't change and improve,we will be like England in the video.

I love technology. I use it every day with my cellphone,my I-pod,my computer,my PSP,my Franklin,my Palm, and my Wii System.

drew said...

I think that this short video/clip talked about many things; such as china has more honor students then we have people in the United States of America. Supposively that by 2049 there is going to be a computer that is smarter then the human race, but if a computer is smarter then the human race then that means that technology has surpassed all of mankind. I wonder why Nintendo spent 140 million dollars on research and development then the United States of America's+ federal government. I guess the point of this movie is that technology is always advancing. (100 words exact)

This video had very interesting facts that I have never heard of. The videographer did make many points of global awareness like; the rapid change in population and the difference between the countries populations. The world is changing so quick because of the new technology in the twenty first century. I feel two different ways about this technology I think it is making life easier, but it also frightens me because how technology is doubling every so often I think that one day they might learn how to see u at every moment in your life past and present.

This video addresses that we use technology in so many different ways. Technology can help things run smoother and faster. We use technology in so many different ways, even when we don�t realize it.
Technology is present in my life by using the computer to do research. The phone is also technology that I use to talk to family member and friends. It is also present by riding airplanes, because the people who work the controls in the tower use technology too. There are so many different ways to use technology.
We use technology quite often, even when we don�t realize it. When we are playing games on play station, X box, ect, we are using technology. When we use calculators. So as you can see we use technology rather often.
We use technology in school by doing research on the computers, listening to announcements on the loud speakers, and eating watching videos. So as you can see we also use technology in school.

This video "Did You Know?" is based on things that happen, will happen, and differences. My thoughts in the technology seem very cool and exciting. I think that it seems very exciting knowing a little bit that is going to improve in the future. The differences between all of the countries is actually very interesting. Some people may think that there isn't very many people out there that are just like them, from watching this video it made me realize that there is people more like me than I ever expected.

Megan DeJong said...

My thoughts on this video are that technology has changed a lot in the last 100 years.If it keeps continuing at this rate, it will even outgrow our brain compassity.I always carry my cellphone, and I love my IPod.I'm using technolgy right now to type this comment.I basiclly use technology all the time.I can't really picture living without it.It's just become such a big part of my life.I couldn't belive some of the facts in this video.I didn't know that China will be able to speak english soon.It's just crazy that soon a computer will be smarter than the human race itself.To think, about 100 years ago they didn't even have computers,and if they did,no way they could even do a quarter of what ours do today.mdejong

I enjoyed that movie. I think that the changes that will take place and have taken place in technology are huge. I also think life in school will become harder and life after school will become easier. I honestly think after I was shown these facts that life is becoming overly dependant on technology even though it is a great convenience. Technology is very present in my life. I use computers, talk on phones, use the microwave, listen to my ipod, and a lot more. I probably use some sort of technology every couple hours. I would like to incorporate technology in my school day by using computers and doing the stuff you keep talking about.

Unknown said...

What I thought about the movie? I thought it was really interesting, and I think these are important facts that we need to address. They had some interesting facts in the movie. Like stuff I didn’t even know about. So I feel that movie was helpful.

I use technology in many different ways such as; computers, mp3 players or i-pods, radio, cell phone.

I use technology everyday because I’m either on the computer, or on the phone, maybe even watching little TV.

How would you like to incorporate technology in your school day? I would love it because it will make school easier and fun.

How do I feel in the new technology? I fell the technology today is helpful to us.

rachel_marie_7 said...

The video shows what we are capable of in the future and things that are going on around us, and ways to help the world and environment before it has gone too far. My thoughts on the changes in technology are that they are happening rapidly and we need to learn as much as we can now and learn as we reach astonishing accomplishments. Since technology is very present in my life I am truly amazed by what one day we will achieve. With my cell phone having newer and more conveniences, the Internet being improved, and other everyday items having many changes done to them to make life easier. I use technology everyday to my cell phone, my computer, and even the smart boards at school. But I would like to incorporate technology more in to our school with newer devices such as laptops and personal PDA's to make our school not just easier but more organized and maybe even im prove some grades in the process.

Unknown said...

This Video Tought me alot about differant parts of the world.
Its also show that there is a lot of Technology in this world.Electronics are a big part of this world changing.Kids are rapped up in video games and television.It is Unbelieveable how fast Gaming Systems can Make the world differant,but yet Electonics such as Coputers help children and Parents.The thing that Shocked me The Most Was home many text People Send a day,WOW!

Kenny said...

I think that the video clip showed how much technology has changed over time. It is amazing how advanced our society is compared to 10 years ago. It is also a little scary knowing that in 2049 a $1000 computer will be more advanced than the human race. Technology is present in my life in many ways. I use my computer every day, along with my cell phone, television, Ipod, and Playstation 3. I think that technology is incorporated into my school day very well; each classroom is equipped with computers and a whiteboard. I look forward to the advancements in technology as I get older.

Unknown said...

This video shows what's going on in the world and how quickly technology changes. The video also informs us of how advanced other countries have become. I think having more advanced technology in our schools could improve our learning skills and maybe even increase test scores. Technology is very important to me! I don't know what I would do without my laptop, cell phone, and ipod. I use these electronic devices daily! These electronic devices weren't always around. Technology has improved greatly over the years we've been growing up! For example back when my parents and your parents were growing up, they didn't even have cordless telephones, like we do now. Many people now use what's called a cellular phone instead of landline phones.

Unknown said...

I use technology in my life when I
want to learn, cook, play, even relax. I use it all the time if I didnt have it i dont know what I would do. I use it every day, pretty much 24/7. I would like to incorporate technology in my school by making it safer with fingerprint scanners or iris scan just something to make it safer.

Anonymous said...

i think technology is beeing used too much.it is making people lazy ,and taking jobs.soon it will be all we depend on.every thing is getting more expinsive,and there arnet going to be any more jobs left for any one if we keep this up.in the next 10 years we wont need any teachers becuase we have a computer in front of our face.we wont need books because they are comming out on cds.im not saying all technolgy is bad,some of it makes life easier,like machinery in factories.but we are way too dependant on it.<3

Brittany said...

Technology plays a very important part in my life. I have and i-pod an mp3 player a computer,and a whole lot more. The video talked about how thing are going to be different in a few years.
We all use technology probobly more than we need to. I honestly dont think i could live without technology. It make me feel kind of bad because the people in different countries dont have all the electronics and all of the technology that we have as americans.
Technolgy helps us as people to get work dont faster or to just blow off time. but if we didnt have televisions or computers we might actually be more fit and healthy,because we wouldnt be onm the couch in the house we would have more time to exersise , more time for sports and, maybe have better grades because we wont be all on the computers or playing video games.
im not saying all technology is bad but it could use improvements!<3

I think technology is important but it makes the world a very small place. The video was really interesting and it taught me a lot about other countries.I couldn't believe england was the richest!! I use technology a lot during the day. Its really important and it basically helps us live.

a said...

The video amazed me. I had never realized that so much in the world was changing because of technology.I was shocked at how they have more honors kids than we have kids. Also that during the course of the video that so many babies were born. That video made me realize how much we depend on technology. I use a cell phone everyday and I couldn't live with out the computer and it was interesting how quickly technology is advancing.When it showed how rich and good England was in 1900 it made me realize that if you don't keep up with the change in some ways you are forgotten. I t I t also made me realize that if you keep up with change it really is a good thing.

d said...

I think in the video they changed the technology around.So we could have better technology to learn from.technology is present in my life by: ipods cell phones,and gaming systems.Almost everyday.By getting better tv's and by getting vcrs.

Aaron Worth said...

I didn't know a lot of things in that short video clip. I had know idea that an 1,000 dollar computer can have more capacity than the human brian by 2023. I didnt know how valuable technology will be by 2023 and they have predicted a supercomputer by 2013. That's amazing that it will be able to have more capacity than a human brian. I also counldn't beleive that China had so honor students. I mean i knew that technology would get a lot better in the years to come but i just thought they would come out with more software like the newest software from windows but that was it. I thought that was all they would do was make software and new copumters. That video was amazing!

Unknown said...

I think the video means that we are working too much on our computer devices and that we are going to cause a very dangerous thing to happen like in the horrific movie "The Day After Tomorrow". If we continue to use such devices as cell phones and cars and keep on manufacturing things that use so much energy we are going to destroy our resources. If we (the world) do not stop making so many complicated devices that will exceed our mental capabilities, we will be unable to learn from the mistake we are making daily.

fletcher devaul said...

When I was in elementary school I typed reports on the computer, I watched videos on the VCR, I listened to music from a CD player, and played Nintendo 64. Now I text message, watch DVDs at home and in our vehicle, use the computer to research topics and talk to my friends on Myspace, listen to music from my ipod, and play my Play Station Portable. Now it is amazing to think that the technology that I'm learning to use in middle school will be out dated by the time I'm in high school. I can't wait to see what new technology comes out in the future.

buonaiuto said...

This was a fascinating video clip. It mentioned some interesting points that I have never thought about. It said that more text messages are sent each day than the population of the human race. Another interesting fact was that there are hundreds of babies being born in one country in just a matter of a few minutes! I think that it is great that technology is increasing but it was somewhat disturbing that in the year 2049 there will be a computer that will exceed the human race for only 1,000 dollars. If there were no technology, I would not know what to do with my spare time. I've never really thought about how much I used technology until today. There would be no TV, video games, or computers. If there were no technology, i wouldn't even be typing this right now! I am excited to see what technology comes in the future,but at the same time I am a little nervous. I guess I'll just have to wait and see how much technology
increases in the future!

Ali said...

This video lets us know about the competition we face from other more populated countries like China and India.The video lets us know what future will be like and how fast things will change with changes in technology. The need to be ready and stay up to date and be involved in the world is really important.I also learned that our country and others have to be willing to keep up to date and also to be willing to pay for all the new thing happing,because like in the movie England in the 1900 was the most powerful but they weren't willing to stay up to date and they are now an average country. Also I thought it was interesting about how when what I learn as a freshman in college will be useless by the time I'm a senior.Also,I think it's exciting to look forword to all the new things that will happen to all the electronics like computer and cell phone.

Unknown said...

The "Did You Know" video was very interesting. I cannot believe how much technology is developing over time. This video contains so much information that I had to watch it a couple of times just to take it all in! I use technology in my life everyday. I don't know what I would do without my laptop! I am glad that Ms. Constable has presented us with a language class that involves so much technology!

reese! said...

Hi. I thought that the video was really interesting. It gave me alot of facts that I never knew before. The video kept me into it because i kept wanting to know what else they have to say about the world and life today. The video was cool nd I would be interested in doing videos like this the rest of the year. Can't wait for the next.

emily said...

My thoughts on this video were that the whole world will soon be completely based on technology. Technology is a big part of my everyday life. If I didn't have a phone, I think i would die. This video made me think that I should move to China. According to the video , there is alot of smart people in China, so maybe if I move there I'll get smarter.

Unknown said...

I think that the video was very interesting. It was very astonishing that by 2023 1st graders will be 23 and starting their careers. It made me rethink what i used to believe about technology. I would think that the technology stated in this video would be decades ahead of my lifetime.

Unknown said...

The video showed how much we use technology today. If all of this happens in the USA by 2010-1050, then China will have even more technology. If it all comes true about the technology everybody will have computers, cell phones, and different types of technology.By that time all kids will have laptops. Classwork will not need textbooks and paper. We will do all work on computers.

Unknown said...

I think technology is becoming very useful more and more each day. I text my friends on a daily basis. I also use computers at school and at home. My science teacher is using a computer disc to replace our science books. Another use of my technology is using my ipod. I use the computer to download songs for me to listen to on my ipod. I would like to incorporate technology in our schools by adding online classes. Students would be able to do their homework online instead of bringing their books home. Technology is one of the most important things in our world today.

Zack said...

I think the video presented to us the things that are happening that we never really think about. It scared me a little. With all that population growth and technology, there might be another World War. The earth will get overpopulated. I don't like it when people get excited about the growth of the people, because this presents more problems to our economy and such. Well, there's nothing we can really do about it, right? Anyway, the video wasn't horrific all the way throughout. I thought it was really neat that Nintendo actually spent more money than the government. The fact that computers will surpass human knowledge is unbelievable. It makes me wonder about our uncertain future.

In short, this is a good video with a lot of information. It makes us realize that our growth in the past few years is many times faster than in the past.

Kstaggers said...

This video really made me think about how the world is changing so quickly. From this video, I can tell in the future, computers and machines will be more useful people. Technology helps us a lot every day, but I don’t think it should completely take over human labor. It seems like we’re getting too dependant on computers. I don’t know what I would do if there wasn’t a Google or a search engine I could use for a report or if I needed information. Although, it would make school a lot more organized and may make students want to work harder. That means higher scores on the west test. It also amazed me about how China and India are so much more populated and have higher academics than the United States. This was a great video to watch because it shows about what really is happening.

Jenny said...

Wow.I didn't know how much technology is already changing people's lives.It's hard to believe that China and India are taking over.Just to think a laptop computer will someday be smarter than the human brain and that more text messages are sent daily than the population of the human race.In elementary school,my teacher would always write on the chalk board.Now in middle school,my teachers use smartboards and dry-erase boards.In kindergarden,I was watching videos in the VCR.Now, I'm watching DVDs in my DVD player.It's really amazing how quick technology changes.Without technology,I wouldn't be able to go to the movies or watch television.Without technology,I wouldn't be able to be online postng a comment right now.This video clip made me realize that the United States is facing a very difficult competition with the whole world.I would like to incorporate technology in my school day by taking notes or doing more assignments like this one on my laptop.

Katlynwiltwfms said...

It surprises me that technology is changing so fast. It made it sound like the U.S. was only a state compared to China. I am glad that technology is moving so quickly because it makes things easier on everyone. People can also have fun doing more advanced things than what they were used to doing.

It really surprised me how China has more honor students than we even have people! And Chinese women have way more babies daily than we do in a day.

I really don't know what i would do without technology! I use it every single day,like my ipod,cellphone,computer,T.V,Radio, and my Nintendo DS.

Unknown said...

This video means that we need to think about what is going to happen in the future.We use technology everyday so we should keep up to date with it.Also,we should think about jobs having to do with technology.We need to start thinking about people enter this world one day the population will get out of hand.There won't be enough places to live and work.We would start messing up our eviorment just to build homes and buisness too.The government should think about a child's education before buying new technology.That's what i thought about this video.

jared burns said...

Amazing!Life has changed so much because of technology.I remember as a child I never noticed that so much was happening in the world as I do now. Our economy is changing because of technology and sometimes we don't notice it. It's not because we are lazy, it is because it's how we live our daily lives.The video also made me understand that America is not as large I thought it was. India and China are the most populated countries,China of course being the largest. It scares me how everything has changed so fast before our very own eyes.It seems as yesterday we were amazed by Videos,CDs,and Nintendo 64's but today it is The DVD's,Ipods,and Xbox 360's that are all the rage. This "Did You Know" film has opened my eyes to global awareness in our world and how our lives are changing.

Savannah (: said...

Technical changes in the world today are truly amazing. Technology has advanced so much in the last twenty years. With it changing so quickly, it is hard to imagine what it will be like in the next one hundred years. The world needs to discover and invest in the good ways to find use to all the changes. The world is growing faster than the human race can keep up.
Technology in my everyday life makes it much easier. We never would have been able to do this assignment the way we are, and that is just one example. I can work faster and more accurately now, than I could ever do without technology. I really don’t know what I would do without the Internet’s help. I do research, talk to friends and family, and manage my documents with technology. If you think about it, the technology I am using now is so vastly different than it was 25 years ago. When my parents were in eighth grade. When they typed anything, it was on a type-writer. They had to use white-out to correct any of their mistakes. Now, you use spell check, grammar check, and hit the backspace button and it’s easy to have a grammatically correct paper. Twenty-five years ago, if you needed to do research, you would have to go to the library to use encyclopedias. Computers were not anywhere near being in the everyday home.
Technology in the school system is very important at the present time. The generation that is currently in school will be around technical advances for the rest of their lives. Actually, technology is already a part of their lives. It is important that kids are educated and are used to being around technology. It is no longer optional. It is essential.

I think this video covers some very important points. Some good, and some bad. Some of the better points are, yes, our technology is advancing, and in the present and the future will help us. There are some things we do on a daily basis, that would be more difficult without some of the technology we have today. Some of the worst are, Nintindo spent more money on stuff we don't need to live, and get a good job to raise a family and support ourselves, than the U.S government spent on our education. Our government is so behind on supporting our education, it's not funny. Without our education, most of us would be working at McDonalds until we were 70!! I know I want to be able to go to college and get a good job.

Today we wouldn’t be able to survive without technology. Technology is present around us everywhere like cars, computers, cell-phones, projectors and lots of other things we don’t notice.
I use technology everyday at home and especially at school. I use it to do reports and mainly researching.
I think that it would be really great to incorporate technology in my school.

tori M said...

well, I didn't quite get the first part about the one in a million thing, but this is still amazing. Considering that the smart Chinese people are more numerous than our entire population is depressing. However, this proves my point that Americans need to study more and work harder to be the best because we are becoming a fat lazy country.
We need technology like computers and everything else, but what if the other countries suddenly decide to stop giving us these products? What will we do considering most of us use some form of technology at least once a day, usually more? We'd be plunged into the dark ages while the rest of the world moved on. Our country needs to get it's act together and start doing things for itself instead of having everyone else do stuff.

Unknown said...

Technology is very important in every day life.I use technology on the regular basis.It helps me with school and its a way to communicate with your friends and other people in near and distant places.Although I am someone who is basically addicted to the new technology,I think that people in the world today are depending on it to much!I think it would be alot better if peple didnt depend on technology as much as we do.

Mehgan said...

Technology is very important in our lives, it will help us make it through school, grow up, and get jobs. To make it through school these days we need to know how to use techonology properly. We are the future of America, and must know how to use alot of future technology. Techonology is present in out lives now, for example, in schools anymore, there is some of the latest technologies, like computers, franklins, online text books, and so fourth. We use technology every single day in our life, wether it's the bus, the computer, or the techers overhead. We use technology on a daily basis. We already do incorporate technology in our school lives, like the use of caculators, computers, overheads and so on. Technology is very important in our lives, everyone uses it, mainly on a daily bases.

I do not have moch technology in my live. The only time in my live I use technology is in school.I would like to larn more about technology

Unknown said...

I thought that the video made several good points about our world now and the future.Like how there will be more computers than humans on earth in 2047.Or,how every 3 minutes 544 babies are born in China.Also,how there are more English speaking people in China than there are in America.The video also astonished me how it said that everything our parents and grandparents learned will become obsilete by the time I enter college.But change for a planet that has been in this universe for eons needs to change or else the way of life will become a striving ability to us all.

Unknown said...

I thought the video was very good. It made me think about what my life and future will be like. my favorite part of the video was if myspace was a country it will be the 11th largest country.techolgy is very important in these days like if you need to know were a state was instead of looking it up in a map . you could get a gps or a the internet. The video made me relize how the world is chageing so fast. thats my thought about the movie.

Unknown said...

i thought the video was good and it made me relize what is going on in this life today.techongy is used often today like gps and computers. my favirote part of the video was if myspace was a country it woulg be the 11th largest country wow. the video really made me think of my life and futrue.

Unknown said...

I think the video is talking about that technology is more out there then books are used now these days like at school we have are books online so we can go home and look it up on the computer if we have like 5 anwsers left we don't have to worry about taking are books home and i think in the many years people won't have to go to school they will be on the computer then going to school. Technology is every were you go I have a cell phone,TV,mp3 player also but the video tells you about how many people use technology everywhere they go like at work and use there cell phone to contech other people.

cheyannh said...

i think the did you know video ment that the world will and can change and trust me it will the video explains that because of how people are these days....we cause globel warming by putting things into the and that is how the big changes will be made 2 the world 2day

paitantwiggwfms. said...

I had no clue that technology changes as often as it does. I'm glad that technology is getting even better that it already is. Technology helps us with many things. We all should use technology more because it helps you with many things, and it is also fun to use. I think they should more technology in a student’s education. That video taught me things I didn’t even know about. I never really knew how many very smart people lived in China either!

Kristina said...

I believe technology is outdoing itself day by day. Soon it will be better than us and outdo the entire world. Sure technology is important. I believe education and technology are tied for what comes first (other than family and friends).

AShields said...

Wow, that was a cool video! I never knew any of that stuff! I love learning about things like that. anyway, technology is around me all the time. I use my cell phone, mp3 player, I'm on the computer alot, and so many other things that it would take up a whole blog page just to say them all!
I use technology every day. As I stated in the previous paragraph, i use a plethura of things, and most of them every day.
I like technology so I think using the computer more would be pretty cool and it would make the school day better and more fun. Also, I think we should just have fun with technology and use it to our advantage to get our school work done.

◘ Ryan ◘ said...

I use technology everyday in my life. I use it when I am in school, and home. School should teach us more on technology, because us kids are growing up into a world that we must use technology much more often. This video shows how much education is important in our lives today. Without education who knows how people will endup in the world after they have grown.

My thoughts on the changes of technology in the video would be that practically when we get much older our whole world will almost revolve around technology itself. Just imagine for students starting a 4-year technical or college degree that half of the stuff they learn will be outdated by their third year. I wonder what all the great technologies will be made. Cell phones, computers, and TV are all used in my daily life I probably couldn’t live very well without them. Or even a microwave or refrigerator I would be spending a lot of money on fast food or even eating out! Can’t you see that our lives are already starting to revolve around technology just like I said will probably happen in the future! I usually use the computer for myspace, homework, and looking on other shopping sites. The cell phone is used to call my friends or even when I am out for family emergences it is used quite a lot. I really enjoy watching TV shows like Hannah Montana, Suite Life of Zack and Cody, fashion shows, movies, and much more. If I was able to control how technology would be used in my school I would the children over 12 laptops would be able to use the whole year and to take them home, but not in the summer. The children under 12 could use them in school only.

olivia said...

I think this "DID YOU KNOW?" video is very interesting. I never imagined that people in China would speak more english than citizens in the U.S. or that eventually computers will be smarter than the entire human race.
I didn't relize how fast todays technology is growing, but I am glad that we are getting closer and closer each day to finding better ways to get things done. I LOVE technology. I use it everyday with my computer, ipod, and cell phone. There are many other appliances used by people everyday that display technology such as toasters, microwaves, refridgerators, can openers, ect. In school there are lots of ways to use technology too such as smart boards, franklins, calculaters, and projectors.
This video lead me to think about the past and how todays world is so much different than about 20-100 years ago. I also thought about the future and how it is going to effect our lives. People in the 21st century are creating more and more technology everyday.

Todd Branham said...

Seeing that video made me think about what I can do to help the environment. I use technology at home and like what I'm doing now. I use technology everyday like playing xbox 360 and using the computer.I use technology, to get to school, watch t.v., and lights. I would love to go to school and use technology.I would like to use the smart board and go to the computer lab, to do assignments. Also, I would like to get the school's labtop cart,so we can type our notes and save them to our flash drives.So, that is what I think about technology.

I think this video was very important video to us. The new technology is crazy in this world. I couldn't believe that a 1,000 dollar computer is smarter than a human brain. China is very smart and they almost have more people that spek english than North America has. I have and use alot of the new technology in this world today. India and China's popultion has grown so much its unbelieveable. I thought the video was very helpful and cool to watch.

Unknown said...

I think the movie was talking about how in the future technology will change the way we all live. The fact about the super computer shocked me because it sounded like something in a sci-fi movie. I really like Nintendo and I have noticed the video game graphics are getting more realistic, so I wasn’t surprised to see that they spent so much money in 2004. I think the video explained we will be learning new things and using technology a lot more. The video also explained how China will be changing over the next few years. That is what I think the video explained.

So this is what i thought about the movie. I thought that it was crazy how fast things are going to be created and produced. I also think that people do take myspace to seriously, even know I do too. This movie made me realize that people have a hard time living in different countries that are not as wealthy as us. Technology has really improved over the years and I didn't realize it. When I was younger I didn't really use technology all that much, but now I am older and I use my cell phone a lot and I love the computer. I also realized that this world is going to end soon and we take advantge of to many things.

Unknown said...

This video had a lot of good facts. My thoughts on the video are that technology is becoming more advanced everyday. The advancement in the technology is great as long as it is used to better everyday life. I had no idea technology is advancing that much.
The fact that China is going to become the number one English speaking country is scary. The video made me wonder what the world will be like in 20 years. Knowing how many children are born in other countries is way larger than that of the U.S. I think that India and China will become over populated soon. I think the reason that China had more smart people is because they spend more money on Nintendo than we did on education. That makes me wonder how much they spend on education.

--->Lexi ;] said...

This video was very interesting. It taught me a lot of things that I would never have dreamed of thinking was true or would happen in the future.
With all the technology changing and expanding so quickly, we can't keep up, even though we try. We're always trying to keep up because me as a teenager, I know that I always want the "hottest" electronics that are out. For example, I wanted an iPod as soon as they came out, and I'm sure everyone else did too! But in many, many good ways, technology is very important; without it we wouldn't be anywhere close to where we are today.
Furthermore, I am glad that the video was assigned for us to watch because I feel that it did address a lot of good points and issues. I do enjoy technology and I hope that it will continue to advance in many positive ways.

I believe this, "Did you know?" video is very informative. I like how it starts out telling us how many more smart children there are in China than the US. It's also amazing how it describes how many more children will be born in India, China, and the US, just while you're watching the video. Then, as it moves on to the computerized part of the video, it completely dumbfounds you. I mean, you don't really realize how many people have a MySpace account. I mean, you know there are lots of people out there that do have one, but the amount of people they describe is a large amount. And the end of the video. Shift happens, very catchy.

Unknown said...

This video is really amazing! I didnt know half that stuff until i watched it.It's amazing how many more babys are born in China and India than the US in less than 7 minutes. I didnt know England the richest country at one point.I would really like to know who answered people's questions before google.I kinda exspected for myspace to be very popular but not that popular. I think its sad that the internet people spend more money and time on the internet than the government does on education.

TayNay42 said...

I think this video was really interesting.I can't believe that China has more honor kids than we do kids.I also thought it was cool that so many people were having babies while I was watching the tape.This tape was so realistic that it was almost scary.Before, I never really took time to look at how much more advanced our country is than China and India.I'm so thankful that I live in a country that has technology.I mean it's everywhere.I use my phone,computer,stereo,I-Pod,and television on a daily basis.I can't wait to see all the other things I'll have when I'm in high school that uses technology.

cAILEY nICOLE =D said...

When I first watched the video, I was amazed at all of those facts about technology and how often it changes or betters itself. I realized that technology is not just a simple thing that I should overlook, but rather a demanding need that I should keep up to date with. I could not believe the facts about how scientists project technology to update so quickly in the near future. The video “Did You Know” really opened my eyes and made me think long and hard about the awareness that the maker of that video wanted to project.

I think these changes in technology are good but yet bad. As several of hundred of years go by we humans have been getting smarter and so has technology. We have invented things without knowing the consequences till they have happened. Our new technology helps us in every day life but these things are destroying our planet. Some of us, not all, spend all day watching television and playing video games (that sometimes includes me) when people from China and India are studying to get a better education.
Technology today is probably growing faster that we even know. All the technology helps life much calmer and easier but I think we depend on it a little too much. I use technology everyday and so does almost every body else. We used technology to make our cars, computers, and much more which use these things everyday. Our world would not be the same without it but we could use a little less of it. If I could control what technology was used in my school I would leave it all the same because I would not be sure of what things to put in it and what not to put in it.

Unknown said...

I really thought that the video was cool and interesting. Technology in my life is very common; I use it all the time. I have a computer witch I’m on a lot of the time. I also have an ipod video and a psp witch I like both of them a lot. I like to use all of them a lot. I thing our school doesn’t have enough technology. I thought that when I first stepped in that school that it would have had a lot more technology. On thing that we could have more of would be a couple more computer labs. If I were the principal on the school I would get more computers and all kinds of different technology.

Wow! I didn't know technology and the world around us was changing so quickly. The purpose for this video is to inform people of the transformations happening in our world today. Technology changes so quickly.
Current classrooms are the same as classes in the past because they still have a teacher. We still use books to get a lot of information But, I think that we will always use books, or information in books to use in school. I do believe that many books will become outdated and put on the internet or supercomputers.
The two videos are alike because they had a lot of the same facts. One of the most amazing facts to me was that the information that we are learning now, might not even help us with the jobs that we may have in the future. It must be difficult for teachers to keep up with information to teach us! The videos were different because one had pictures and the other didn't. The one with pictures related to kids more, where the first one just had information and no pictures. I would really like to shoot a video! It would be interesting to do it as a group project. I would probably use Top 40 music that everybody likes to listen to. Even though technology changes every day, I can't wait to see what the future holds in the next 10 years.

Unknown said...

This was an awesome video, it really made me think. I think that technology is a huge part of life today. Life is probably confusing for people who don't understand it. I use technology on an everyday basis. I'm always on the computer, and talking on the phone.It would be great if we had computer's instead of books, that would be the way I would want technology incorporated in my school day.

alyssa said...

The changes in technology are tremendous! I mean in the 1800's what in the world was a phone or computer? What was an ipod or mp3 player? They had no idea what any of those things are. Back then it took days to weeks to talk to someone in a different state. Now communication is instantaneous. We can text message, instant message, and even talk on the phone, rather than wait for the mail or many years ago the pony express. You can get any kind of information on the computer, like for homework or just to look up interesting facts. So yes I think technology has changed greatly over time.
Technology is everywhere in my life today, such as: computers, cell phones, franklins, calculators, also alarm clocks. If I didn’t have these things in my like I really don't know what I would be doing. I have friends and family that live far away that I can keep in touch with. Without technology I wouldn’t be able to have many friends across the state and maybe across the country. The internet for me helps me met new people like on myspace, or AIM.
I use technology everyday. I would like to incorporate technology in my school day by to lookup definitions on our franklins or find out who was our tenth president on the computer. Everyone should have knowledge about all the different technology sources around them.

oh my gosh, i had know idea how much technology we used in our every day life, it an astronomical amount. I use technology in my life so much i use it at least 3 times a day. ni use it when i get on my lap top or on my regular computer. I watch TV listin to the radio and my franklin. i would like to be abe to use technology in school by watching movies that go along with whatever we are learing in school or use the computer to do activtes. And thats what I think about technology

Unknown said...

Oh my gosh, i had no idea how much tecnologhy we used in everyday life. I know i use technologhy at least 10 times a day. when i use it is use Cell phones, Computers, TV, Franklins and im sure a lot more.I would like to use technologhy in school by, watching movies on what ever we are learning in class that day or week, and or by going on the computer and doing activities. I think we could realy cut down on using so much tecnology in ever day life.

davidhaley said...

I think this "DO YOU KNOW" video(like evryone else) addresses a handful of important matters. It is explaining to us that we have definetley come a very long way, and have developed so much in just 20 years! It really makes you think. When you think hard enough you come to the realization that yes we will have very far advanced technology, but as the technology shall progress so will our knowledge increase. So yes we may invent a supercomputer that knows more than the human race TODAY but if we continue to develop technology and just by studying things more the supercomputer might not have the knowledge we know THEN. We have a very thriving country, but would we have a country like ours if we didn't have technology? We probably could do this, although it would probably take double the time and effort. We rely so much on technology. It is definetly a good thing, but sometimes it can be bad.
We have many technological items in our world, and most of us use it 24-7-365. I know I have an ipod, computers, a Wii, and the same stuff most of us have. If we didn't have technology like we do today we wouldnt have wiped out Polio and cured many other diseases. We might not even know what the disease is, comes from, or looks like. While some people might be scared we are taking it too far with technological discoveries, we need to not be afraid and use it more. During school we could have laptops, PDA's,etc. This stuff would help us tremendously. So to finish it all up, we are a very thriving culture and even world with the help of technological discoveries.

Phil said...

No, I guess I did not know. I never really considered how much technology affects our daily lives. I also never gave much thought to the fact that teachers have such an enormous task. I am concerned that in our country more emphasis is put into furthering technology, instead of bolstering our educational system. It amazes and scares me that we will soon have a computer that is smarter than the human race. It also scares me that the USA is continuing to lag behind other countries in the intellect arena. This video was very informative and made me realize how much we rely on technology in our every-day lives.

Shannon Yost said...

I think this video/clip could really raise awareness on many things. It could raise awareness on how many more people there are in India and China than in the US, and how much smarter they are. It could also raise awareness on how many people are actually on MySpace, and how many times a day people are on it. It is also so unbelievable that 40 years ago they didn't even have computers and by 2049 there'll be a computer smarter than the human race.

Andrew said...

I think the video was very informing. It taught you how important technology is and will always be. We need to prepare for the future for the sufficent changes occuring in our world. Especially the optic fibers, the supercomputer, and problems we don't even know are problems yet. I am glad to be growing up in the twenth century to experience these changes, though. It will be a life-changing experience, and I hope I can help make it happen. I really enjoyed the video, and it was very informing.

NIck said...

I think that technology plays a big role in our everyday lives. Like if you needed to look up anything before the 1900s you would need to get out a dictionary or an encyclopedia and it could take a while to find out what you need. Now you can get onto google and look up pretty much anything in a matter of seconds. Think about this, what if in the future we become too reliant on technology. So everything in our homes run on electricity, there's a big storm and, the power goes out. Then what? I mean then what would you do then? We could also use the changes in technology to our advantage to do something great for mankind.
I think that we should all be aware of what is going on in the world around us. We should all be aware of the technology around us and what all we can do with it. So all the technology we have and will have in the future will be great but we could also be at a disadvantage.

Baller_Girl_13 said...

When I watched "Did You Know" I was thinking to myself how the world has been changing in years. With all of this new technology it made me realize how the other countries help by sending technology that can help us. A lot of people in China and India are very smart. It made me think of how I could help the world. Also, the technology each day gets faster and faster with new things we try.

Evan Cameon said...

Everyone in this lifetime needs to really think about what was in this video. The "DID YOU KNOW" video had alot of different things that the younger people in this lifetime need to think about. I use technology more and more everyday and if everything is going to change over the next 10-20 years then kids now need to really start using more technology so that they can be ahead in the future. The United States needs to spend more money on technology and on the kids education because thats what China is doing and they are going to be "THE" country in the next decade.

midge said...

Whoa! This video made me realize how unaware I am of what’s going on in the world today. Technology is present in my everyday life. For an example, I have a myspace that I do most of my communicating through. My other source of communicating with my friends would be my cell phone. I couldn't live without either one of these technologies. That’s why I feel grateful for what I have knowing a lot of children aren't so fortunate. Another technology I use daily is my ipod. My mom swears its in my ear 24/7. I think it would be really cool to have teachers record podcast of important information so we can listen and learn through our ipods. This video made me realize how every 3 years technology is outdated and it will be hard to keep up.

Grant said...

That was an amazing video! The "Did You Know" video was created because the things we you are learning today are going to be VERY different in the future. It shows that everything changing quickly.
My current classroom is like the classroom of the past in that we still have information in books. We get assignments and take tests on paper. My classroom today has a lot of information like the classrooms in the future will have. I think we will always have some sort of computers in our rooms. The two videos are similar because they are talking about the future and how different it can be. They discuss many concerns about education today. Teachers might have many questions about how to use this information to improve their classrooms. The videos are different because the second one had images that made it more interesting. It was much easier to understand. I would like to plan and shoot a video with my classmates. The music I would use would be exciting and upbeat.

Basketballbabe said...

The video “Did You Know” referenced many information facts that we must think about as we advance in life. Many of the jobs in 2010 are not currently available to the world right now. Because of growing technology, there will be more opportunities in the world. The video also informs us on what could possibly be happening in the future. It may make us think of some possible career possibilities that may occur.
Technology helps us with many things that occur in our lives. Cell phones and house phones help us keep in touch with our friends and family. Computers help communicate with others and look up information that is used in school or other actives that may need to be research. Automobiles, trains, buses, boats, and plains are used to get people from place to place. Navigational systems help show the way from place to place. TVs, CD players, I pods, MP3s, radios, and gaming devices help keep entertained. Some of those devices can be used to gain information that is occurring in the present.
I would like to incorporate technology more in our school with newer devices. I feel that everyone should have a notebook computer in order to research information quicker and easier. Showing current videos that will keep the students MORE interested. I think we need to get a WII system to use in gym or language classes. These are a few things that our school can do to incorporate some of the newer technologies.

nathan said...

I think it showed technology is get more and more advanced, and if we don't get caught up with the times we are going to get blown away with books and my friend's Elvis records.I use alot of tech every day.Tech has made a big impact on my life.Daily I come in contact with TV,PSPs,computers,and electronic dictionaries. What really got me was that all these people from Asian countries are getting our jobs.Why can't they just make our toys and farm rice.

Unknown said...

This video shows that not only are we creating new technology and using it to gain knowledge but with this knowledge we are inventing technology that is going to outsmart the human race! I believe that it is important to have the newest technology in the school facilities so that students like myself can be prepared for the future jobs involving these new electronics when we complete our college degrees.There is so much information be discovered in such a short period of time that it is and will be difficult to stay up-to-date.

Unknown said...

I use technology every day. Most of the time technology makes your life easier, but it can complicate things too. Like the video said ‘the amount of new technical information is doubling every two years’. In every field technology advancements change constantly. It’s a lot to keep up with.

I would like to incorporate technology into my school day by using organizational tools such as a blackberry or a laptop. This would cut down on misplaced papers and save time.

XCChick said...

This movie adresses alot of issues about the environment and other problems in the world. It makes me rethink about how fortunate we are. Technology is everywhere in our present lives. We use technology every day because of school and for fun at home. I would like to use more technologies in scool like use laptops to take notes but we also have to think about how we also have alot more than other countries schools. We take alot of technologies for granted in the U.S. when other countries would love to have a laptop or computer in thier home.

♥Stephanie♥ said...

I think the video said that we need to pay attention to our enviorment and the changes that are happening around us. On how we need to look at the present and what is going on now that will make our future better. The video made me think on how I can help other countries in the world.

I think the video we watched was crazy.It makes me wonder what we can do to help other countries.I cant believe that there is more labor in China than the United States and their's a lot of smart people in China.Technology is important to all countries.Honsetly id like the United States to help other countries update technology in there country.I think technology is better help.I didnt know that technonlogy changed so often.
I use technology everyday rather its the phone ,computer ,or radio.I mostly use it when i come home from school because it makes things easier and ill admit im a little bit lazy ,and technology helps.I think we should be able to use more technonlgy at school because we wouldnt have to write so much,it would me easier,and maybe a little more fun.I think students would just enjoy school more teachers might too.
Well thats what i think about technology.

I am using technology everyday. I use my computer to communicate with my friends on a daily basis. I use my computer more each school year to complete my assignments. I download songs to my ipod as well. I am using technology when I play with my Wii, watch television or even use the microwave.
After viewing the video our country is sliding in our effort to provided education/technology to all of our children. Other countries like China and India value education/technology more than we do. I think that we take it for granted. A "free" education is promised to all of us. Many opportunities are there for us, we just have to take advantage of them. In the countries mentioned in the video, only the children who score the higest on required tests are even given the opportunities to achieved the newest education/technology.
After viewing and using my mom as a resource I have decided that technology is very important to my future education. What I'm learning today will not to used in the future.

Technology is so advanced today when compared to the past. The video compared the United States to other countries. The U.S. is 20th in the World in broadband internet penetration. Technology is present in my life every day by using the cell phone, Nintendo DS, and computer. The average myspace page is visited 30 times a day. Instant messaging and blogging online are just two examples of how communication has changed over the years. I always talk to my friends online. I would like to learn more about internet technology at school. The technology we learn today will change in 5 years. I can't imagine what the technology will be in 2013 when I graduate from high school.

Ths video is very intresting & expresses knowlege very well. MY cusin & i debated on this subject for a while to figure out that computers will one day be the smarter than humans Also India has more AP students,than we have all together in america. I also had no idea that if Myspace was a country, it would have the worlds 11th largest population in the world.

Unknown said...

I think that the viedo was showing people like us that pretty soon technology will be very important in the world.I never knew that if myspace was a country it would be the 11th largest country.I knew that alot of people in China were very smart but never as samrt as the video says they are.Also that the internet wouild not hurt our envorment it would help a little.For example some people move away from their family and still wants to keep in touch with them they could use a computer than using a phone that you have to pay alot of money for.The future will be more advanced with the new technology coming very year. -stevi austin

I thought the video was very interesting. I now realize that china and india are way ahead of us in education. It is also amazing how much we rely on technology and that we are going to rely on it more.

Technology is another word for electric-powered devices to make life a little more easier, like for instance, TV to give us news, the computer to research words and things a little more easier, telephones to comunicate, and so on. The technology present in my life is a computer, telephone, gaming systems, airplanes, trains, and vehicles. I would say about everyday. The kids would have more fun in schools than reagular school days.

This is what I think about technology it can be useful and it's alot easier to use.On the enternet you can do lots of things alot fastier to get the important information you need in live if you have a question it can answer it.There are other things you can do you can talk instently and email rater then write letters to people.Even thow there's information on the computer you steal have to go to school to get a good job.You can't relie on the computer for everything thow you have to do somethings alone in life.You can also learn somethings from T.V.so I think technology is very important.

I think the purpose of this video was to compare and contrast how modern students and classrooms are different from those back in the old days. The video "Classroom of the Past" was exactly like the "Did you Know" video, except the "Did you Know" video did not compare and contrast things like this video. I like the modern classrooms more than the old ones because there is so much more technology than there was back then. It also makes things easier on everyone with the knew technology. I also think it would be fun to shoot a video about our classrooms now because then we could look back on it and remember how much different it was and how much technology was changed in the short time period. If we did shoot a movie than there would be newer music because we are in modern times and back then there was older music.

My thoughts on the changes of technology in the world today are completely amazed by what i just saw. I honestly did not beleive some of the percentages, numbers and thoughts of predictions. I also did not realize that China and India were so advanced. I didn't think the world could get anymore complicated! Well it turned out that i was wrong. We realy more on technology more and more each day. It surprises me that people are able to think so advanced that we can predict something that is going to happen 25 years from now.
Technology is present in my life every day. I could not do half of the things i think of without technology.From computers to zip drives we can make the world a much smaller place because of communication features in our cell phones,computers[internet],instant messaging ,etc. technology amazes me in so many different ways. It is astonishing to even think something of this sort is possible.
I use technology everywhere i go. there's not a single thing i can think of that doesn't involve some sort of technology. Weather it's cars for transportation or a computer for homework. We rely on technolgy more than it relys on the human race. We usetechnology in just about everything we do.
We incorperate technology so much in school now. I remember when we did not use computers at all in preschool.I like technology and just about every thing about it. I also like using it more commonly in class. for some reason i think i learn quicker and more efficiantly than i used to learn without it. Andrew Strand

Devanie said I think that technology is very useful and I couldn't live without one.I use a computer for homework and research.I use a electronic tuner to tune my guitar and flute.I also use technology for watching cartoons on the tv.I would have to say I use technology everyday.I would use technology for school to.I would do blogging on the computer for english.I would use a computer for reasearch for history class.I would use technology even for gym.Thats how I use technology.That is also how I will use technology.

Tre said...

The video was very intresting to watch it made me think how myspace was going to increase in siz just in a couple years by 2013 there will be billions of people that have one.I think our computers will be filled with myspaces and it will cause all of our computers to shut down because it will filled with information.I think people should perpare there kids for a world without technology.It made me think that I really have to do good in school if I want to acheive my goals in life so I'm going to try as hard as I can in life.

Unknown said...

To watch this video was educating but scary. To view this information told me that steadily but slowly technology is creeping into our lives. However, don't get me wrong- the technology we have now is very helpful to our lives, but that is just it. I believe it should stay at the pace it is now. If it will exceed human race capabilities,I think it could become its own race and replace the animals and humans on earth- now that's scary! Even though I think it is nice to have now, I want to stress on people the negative points technology could have upon us.

The Video “Did You Know” showed me that I didn’t know. I never would have guessed that Myspace would be the 11th largest country. That’s pretty cool to me though. The video shows that probably sooner that later, technology is going to be our lives and what our lives revolve around. Technology is a very important part of my life. I would probably be dead if their wasn’t any technology. That is really not a joke I would die without a cell phone. I think that a cell phone is one of the best things made. They can be used when you are in danger, so yes, they can be life savers. We know that we all use technology every single day. I think that we could incorporate technology in my school by sending our work through email in school. Yes I thought the video was very good and informing. I honestly liked it. Buh Bye :)

Technology is present in my life in all ways. Technology is in my life in many ways, such as Computers, Xbox, TV, Radio, Telephone, and the DS. I use technology all the time. I incorporate technology into school by Using the laptop, and flash drive

The video did you know showed me that i really didn't know any of that. i never would've guessed anything like that. i really think that it's amazing that there are so many people in china, and not only that but they're sooooooo smart. i think that technology is a really amazing thing for us to have. i wish that i lived in china if china is that smart. without technology i don't know how we would do a lot of things. we wouldn't have internet. we wouldn't have ipods, we wouldn't even have mp3 players. i'm actually really glad that we live in the century with technology. i don't know what i would do without technology.


by the way, i guess i'm nnumber 125 on comments.

My thoughts on the future of technology and computers in my mind will be frightening. The reason I believe it will be frightening is because the thought of computers out-smarting humans in 2049 could be catastrophic. A single hard drive can’t run every computer on the Earth without having a problem or two. Ever since I saw this video it has made me think what kind of life I will have to put up with when I grow up. It’s made realize that humans no longer have a real place in the world it all belongs to computers. In my daily life I use technology extensively, but the video said that if there were a country completely made up of people who used My Space, it would be the 11th largest country in the world. In my opinion I don’t think the schools anymore need much more technology. Between the computer usage and electronic smart-boards schools are too advanced for this lonely person.

The first time I watched Did You Know, I didn't really think that much about it. But now that I watch it again(4 months later) it really has me thinking. All that information is crazy. I can't believe that China will have more e alot English speaking people than us. Pretty much technology will take over. I have alot different perspective, and I'm dumbfound Ryan Ayers

Unknown said...

Technology is in my life in many different way. We use technology with cars, cell hpones, automobiles, computers,ipods, and much more. I use technology on the regular basis. I use my computer everyday for homework and extra-cirricular activities. I use my cellpone for emergencies or just when im in the need for talking or texting my friends of family. Automobiles are used every day , 24/7 by young, midle aged, and sometimes even old people. Ipods are usd for listening to music. I have a digital camera, and I use it to upload pictures on my myspace, or even jus to have for memories or to print out and give them to your family members who live far away or even close. Although I'm like addicted to technology, I don't think that we should depend on it as much as we do. I think we use it to much for things that we should be able to do without getting on the computer and getting on google and looking up things that we should be able to think about our selves, or we should already know. If we didn't use it as much as we do, then I don't think it would be as bad as it is now.

The changes in technology are amazing. In the old times there was nothing that could cure diseases, but now we do. Technology is present in my life every day, whether is be at home, or at school. I would like to incorporate technology into my school day to at least three days out of the school week. We, the students need to know how to use technology in our lives because of the times of today. Technology is used in just about everything in this time period. It's unbelievible how many babies will be born in India and China.

In this video it informs us that technology will soon take over the world.Most people will revolve around technology.This is a good thing that we have all of this technology, but a bad thing, because what will people do if this technology fails.This technology is used very much in our life, we use it alot in school, and it will eventually be used alot more too.I use technology at least 3 times a day, if not more.I would like to incorporate technology in my school by doing a little more things on the computer. We already do book reports, brochures, and blogs on the computer.This video informs us that there are alot of smart people in China and India.We also were told that if Myspace was a country it would be the 11th largest country.Myspace would be in between Japan and Mexico.

I like this video because it shows us what the world is coming to. This video is showing us how many people are using the internet. Also the future but, I don’t like thinking about the future. The future isn’t fare away but, I still don’t like thinking about it. I would love to be here still when the future comes, I don’t like admitting that there are going to be flying cars. One reason why I like this video was that it showed me that other countries are much popular and bigger than we are.
