If you can't keep up, but can get it up, have you killed your unborn children?

If you thought banks must take TARP money you couldn't keep up, but can you catch up?

Will India and China over-take America, or have they done so already? Almost all of our technology is produced in China, and many of our technical school graduates are Chinese or Indian.

What do these changes mean for democracy? For Capitalism? How can we have meaningful investment of capital if change is all we know? Must our lives be directed in the future by computers or some cyborg?

This is a very thought provoking video, eh?

Love the music!

Can you catch up? You're wasting time!!! Get to it!

Re. Top 10 jobs 2010, I defy anybody here to actually find a list of them. This, based on a few min of google, is a quote from Richard Riley with nothing else behind it. Not saying it's inaccurate, but it a little disingenuous if there is no such freaking list (or maybe I just cannot find it!).

Otherwise an interesting vid. World is def changing. I got lucky getting into IT.

That note about NY Times in a week having more info than the average joe saw in the 18th century in a lifetime seems a bit weird.

Yes, no bibliography, but it would have changed while making it! And all the facts are outdated! This post is outdated, but are WE outdated? Have we passed our use by date?

When I was 12 I read the Cleveland Press every day from cover to cover, but mainly for the baseball scores. I could tell adults all the news because I delivered papers and read them while doing so. Today, that's impossible because the Cleveland Press is defunct, and if it weren't, it would need to be about a million pages each day, I'm guessing.

The video is has a lot of inaccurate information and faulty conclusions. It's intended to shock, not inform.

It assumes that the way we are headed (collectively) in a certain direction, and that is the only way to go.

So, we can go in a direction other than more and more information, more and more technology? How so? Where do you see the Luddites prevailing?

Well since will will soon have a centeralized goverment that does make sense choices are going to start to dwindle and inflation will compound the problems so even fewer choices will be able to be afforded.

I don't know where you live Robert, but there are millions of Americans that can and do still go out and shoot their meals. IT is merely an amusement. When the government is done with it, it will be like TV.

I live in Florida. Here, we shoot and eat Snowbirdus Familiarus.

Technology drives most of our businesses, Ozone. It isn't just entertainment, and entertainment is business too. I'll bet Apple takes the iPod very seriously. And what you don't know can and will hurt you, IMHO. You may be able to hunt and fish and live the self-sufficient life today, but that lifestyle is fading fast, sorry to say.
