I found this video on YouTube about technology in the future. It doesn't really speak much to education in the future but it gives a lot of facts and theories about how technology will evolve over the next several decades, which will directly impact education. The information that this video makes light of is amazing. Even more amazing is the ideas of how things are going to continue to evolve and grow over time. One really neat piece of information that was stated in the video that I found interesting was that a single week of the New York Times contains more information than someone in the 18th century would have encountered in their entire lives. So what do you think? Is all this info just a bunch of garbage that really won't happen? Can we have a super-computer in the near future that will have more computational ability than the entire human species? Also there is a question in the video that asks who were the 31 billion questions a month answered by before Google. That’s a great question, so who were they answered by? Lastly, and the only easy question to answer, what did you find most interesting and what did you find most unbelievable. Talk to you next week. Roll Tide

This video was real informative. It is amazing how much technology has grown over the past couple of years. I believe technology will grow even more in the next couple of years. I am not sure if there will be a super computer in future or if there will be a bunch of independent sources. The question about the 31 billion questions is a good question. I am not sure even anyone knows exactly who answered all of those questions. The interesting aspect I saw that the top 10 demanded jobs in 2010 did not extist in 2004. It makes you wonder what will happen in the next 5 years. The unbelieveable aspect I saw was where it asked what was the first market to reach 50 million and it was facebook. This was a great video and it makes you think what will happen in the coming years.
