I had this “amazing facts” video saved in my computer for months, and I got to know that this has been watched by millions of people already. But every time I show this to someone new, they go stoned for few minutes. If you haven’t seen it yet, have a look. This 300 seconds you are going to spend will be well worth the time.
Some crazy facts taken from the video,
” China will soon become the No 1 English speaking country in the world.”
“The 25% of India’s population with the highest IQ’s is greater than the total population of the United States.”
” India has more honors kids than America has kids.”
” If MySpace were a country it could be the 5th largest in the world.”
” There are 31 billion searches in Google every month. To whom were these questions addressed before Google? ”
” For Students starting a 4 year degree , half of what they learned in their first year of study will be outdated by their 3rd year of study.”
” During the cause of the above video 694,000 songs were downloaded illegally.”
Are we equipped with enough information to be a developed country? (Sri Lanka.)
Major part of our Economy consists of “Service Sector.” And it is no brainer that information is the key to success in a service based Economy. And in the video you saw the amount of new information added yearly to the human knowledge base. 4 exabytes of unique information. I don’t have a clue about that number but I am sure it must be big.
A good part of this new knowledge is added daily to internet and It is freely available for anyone with a brain to get. It is really sad to see more than 90% of our young generation is using internet only for porn, facebook and torrents.
They haven’t got the slightest idea about how internet can be used to become a genius. A person who can become a true asset to the country. A person who can change the lives of at least another 100 people.
We rely on a decades old British Education system to gather this knowledge. We spend 13 years at school level education and approximately another 5 years at Higher studies. And in this 18 years we learn things which are already outdated by at least another 10 years.
These people then go to the job market thinking they are the cream of the society. I am not even going to talk about the people who are at the decision making level. If any leader wants to develop our country with this remaining system, GOOD LUCK. You will need lot of it.
I do not know what the situation in other countries. But one thing is certain. The world is changing so much in a daily basis and we have lot of catching up to do. As long as we are in the race, and as long as the above mentioned idiots remain as idiots, we as individuals ( Not as a country) will have a bright future.
Full credits of this video should go to Mr Karl Fletch, Mr Scott Mclood and Mr Jeff Bronmen. I couldn’t find their web address and if someone knows it please let me know. They have done an amazing research.
