Did You Know?

            Today in class, we got assigned seats...  
     We also watched a video called "Did You Know 3.0".  It was pretty interesting.  The assignment for this blog is to pick three ideas from the video and answer the following questions:

What was your initial reaction to what you saw?

How are these changes manifesting themselves in your personal life?

How much of a role does technology play in your life?

     The first fact that I wanted to talk about is that if you are one in a million in China, there's 1,300 more of you.  At first when I heard this, I thought they were saying that 1,300 people act exactly like you do, but later realized that it is based on the population.  There are about 1, 300, 000, 000 people in China!  

      Something else that surprised me is the fact that 1 out of 8 married couples in the U.S. last year met online.  I mean, I'm not sad, I'm just a little surprised.  I feel like a real couple should have a real connection that isn't online. Anyway, there are a lot of creepy people on the internet.

      The last fact that surprised me is that 25% of India's population with the highest greatest IQs is greater than the total population of the United States.  That's basically saying that India has more honor students that America even has kids. That doesn't mean that the U.S. isn't smart though.  If smart people from the U.S. go against smart people in India, people in U.S. do have a chance of getting a job.

      I think technology has a huge role in my life.  I have an iPad, iPhone, and a computer. I text and call my family and friends, I go on social media, I use my computer for most of my classes, I use my computer to research for school, etc.  I definitely don't know how my life would be without technology because I've known it all my life basically.  As you can see, technology is big in my life, but I promise I don't use it all the time.
