Wow thats so interesting. I wouln’t have thought that things were going to happen like that in the future. The most interesting bit was when they said that
While waching this slide show 60 babies will be born in the U.S., 244 babies will be born in China, and 351 babies will be born in India. it was also interesting were it said that china will soon become the number1 English speaking contry in the world. In the Pop Quiz I got it wrong i would never have thought it was ______. Sorry Can’t say or you’ll know the answer and it won’t be as fun. Any way this slide show has given me a whole lot of infor mation that i wouldn’t have known otherwize.

I thought that this video was very interesting. The part that surprised me the most was that china will soon be the most English speaking country. The population count was surprisiong as well, but I would like to know about the population count in New Zealand.

I thought this slide was interesting and found the part about the number of text messages sent and received a day exceeds to total population of the planet. This whole slide was great how it told you all that great stuff just in 67 slides.

This slideshow was very interesting and I really enjoyed it. It was very surprising when I found out that China was going to be the number one English speaking country. This is a really cool presentation and it has a lot of information about the world and it is true… Shift really does happen!

I thought that this slide show was very interesting . The pop quiz was quite a suprise…….I never expected the answer to be England. I was also suprised to find that China is going to be the number one English speaking country. This was a great infomation source and contained alot of interesting facts.

This slideshow was one that I would like to see again. All the facts were really interesting and it would also be interesting to find out how all the data was collected. Some of the facts like number of text messages sent and received a day exceeds to total population of the planet were really amazing. I really like this slide presentation it has a lot or really cool information about the world. I would recommend this slide to people for it is really good.

I found this slideshow very interesting. Some of the facts were really surprising like the number of text messages sent and received a day exceeds to total population of the planet. I thought the slideshow was really cool and like Hamish I wonder where they got all the statistics from.

I think that this slide is amazing. I found out lots of interesting new facts. I am surprised at how many babies are born! I also, like laura said, thought that the text messeages were at high surprising numbers. I am interested at how China will be better at speaking our language. I would incorrage anyone to read this.

I think that this slide is awesome. Its jam packed with facts that you would never have thought were real. The thing about the text messages is amazing. And I can’t believe that by the time we finish viewing the slide, 351 babies would have been born in India. And by the time people have finished doing a 4 Technical or College degree, half the stuff they have learned is out of date. I think that this is a real eye opener about how our world is developing so much everyday.

I think it was an amazing slideshow and i agree with Sarah that I didn’t expect England to be the answer to the pop quiz. That while I was watching this slide show 60 babies were born in the U.S., 244 babies in China, and 351 babies born in India.I really thought It had alot of interesting facts
June 6th, 2007 at 4:45 pm
That is the most interesting slide show I have seen. It features the most amazing facts. The most ineresting thing is that China will be the top English speaking county.
Absoulutely Amazing

wow! How interesting! I cant believe that bit about population, and comparing different countries. The statistics are almost the total opisite to what you’d think. Thats cool how they have pridicted the future too and what we would have found out by then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 7th, 2007 at 9:51 am
That was a really cool but weird slideshow. It was very interesting with the facts that it has shown. I didnt think that any of those have happened and will happen. Especially the one about how China will be the top english speaking country. I still dont believe it.
June 7th, 2007 at 5:48 pm
I thought the ovie was cool and I learnt alot of new things that I never knew before. The most suprising bit was when one of the slideshow’s said “did you know that China soon will becoe the most english speaking country in the world. I agree shift really does happen
June 7th, 2007 at 9:02 pm
i think it was a great slideshow and i sort of dont belive that a cmpute in 2049 will exceed the computational capabilities of the entire human speices because i cind of belive we would have found new plnts and there would be trillionsof us or we will all be dead. but yea overall i thought it was great and wounder how they got all the facts

This movie is quite amazing that they could figure the facts out. I think its quite scary that china will probably become the most English speaking country in the world. Also it is amazing how much Nintendo spent on research.
June 7th, 2007 at 10:41 pm
I thought that this slide show was cool and most of the facts werent what you would expect. It really suprised me as well that china is soon going to be the number one english speaking country in the world. It was also very suprising that while I was watching the slideshow 60 babies would have been born in the U.S. 244 born in China and 351 in India. I guess this goes to show that shift is happening and sometime very fast.

This is Taegan. I am using Kaitlyn’s login because I have tried over the weekend and keeps telling me my username is wrong.
I thought this was relly cool, and it put a new perspective of the world in my mind. It makes me feel so miniscule, especially the part that talked about China having more honer students than america having students in general. It was scary and I feel even more motivated now to go out and explore and learn about the world more than before. Because this made me realise what a big place it is and how much is going on around us.
June 10th, 2007 at 9:46 am
I found it very inter interesting, and it was confusing as well. When it said that 47 million laptop were imported around the world. And how china would become the top English speaking country in the world.
The best part was if my space was a country it woulld be the 11th biggest coutry in the world.

Hello. This is Taleta, i’m using Kaitlyns login for the same reason as Taegan.
I thought that this presentation was REALLY cool and like Holly said most of facts definitely weren’t what you’d expect them to be. The fact that shocked me the most was the part about the U.S government spending less then half the amount of money on education, then they did on the developement of Nintendo. I think that this is absolutely stupid, education is way more of a priority. Another thing I found interesting was the amount of couples who meet online. I think that this is a very believable fact but its scary to see what the internet can be used for these days, I think this will increase dramatically over the years.

It was very interesting to watch, but kind of scary to see all the things that are changing. It is also quite scary how China may become number 1 english speaking country in the world. But it was a bit long and you forgot half the things it said when it was finished. I don’t really see how all that information could reate to the card it is advertising. But it was very interesting and I enjoyed it.
June 11th, 2007 at 9:22 pm
I also found that this information was astounding. What really suprised me is that china may be the most english speaking country in the world. What is really interesting is that the U.S spends more on nintendo than education. Over all a great slide show i really enjoyed whatching it.
