OMG...

It's scary.

This video has completely opened my eyes, but the scary part is, it's ALL VERY TRUE. Talk about overpopulation, 34 babies are born worldwide every 8 seconds, 5 of which are in India and 4 of which are in China. It also disturbed me that the highest standard of living, strongest educational system, and richest place in the world was found in Great Britain...over 100 years ago. Also, I was deeply affected that over 2 billion children live in developing countries, where 1 in 5 never even finishes the fifth grade. Most of all, I was, well, shocked, but somehow not the least bit surprised, to find that by 2013, the computation abilites of a supercomputer will exceed those of the human brain, and that, if all predictions are correct, a those of a $1000 computer will exceed those of the human race by 2049...

It's scary.

Did you know?
