Did You Know? 3.0

This presentation's statements/facts were shocking only because I know our world is technologically advanced, yet when facts are stated, it can be overwhelming. Our world is advancing every single day, every single minute. Not only are new technologies being discovered/invented, but our older forms of technologies are being advanced in order to keep up to the newer forms of technologies. We have gone from radios to television and from television to the internet. Our world is a technical world, and older forms of communicating, researching, and daily life are slipping away due to the popularity of technology. We live in world full of technological devices, and this presentation made me realize how many of those devices exist.

The world that we live in is the world that humans have created; humans have advanced the world that we live in. I remember when online dating was unpopular and not advertised, yet now "1 out of 8 couples married in the U.S. last year met online" (Did You Know? 3.0). Also, this presentation made me realize and think about how our world relies primarily on internet devices to communicate and research. About thirty years ago, the world did not have the internet, yet now our world could not understand what life would be like to not have access to the internet. With the internet, people can communicate across the world, work from home, and research information in about one minute.

I really enjoyed this presentation because this presentation is a simple, quick piece of information that allows people to realize how far advanced our world has become. Nobody knows exactly what the future holds, but it is going to be interesting to see what people invent next. This presentation mentioned that we are training students for jobs that do not exist yet. "We are living in exponential times" (Did You Know? 3.0).
