Re: Did You Know

Wow, this video's a little confusing. A lot of the facts are very simply stated but have multiple meanings so I'm not too sure what some of the slides are really getting at. However, the overall mood of the piece is pretty clearly presented. We're the age of technology and advancement, and we're growing at such an exponential rate, pretty soon we might not be able to control our ideas anymore. It seems like this whole video is a warning, "don't get too ahead of yourselves guys". It's ridiculous looking at all those statistics, and a little disappointing too. (Apparently India has many honors students as we have students?)

I think it's great we're advancing so quickly but it's scary at the same time. How far is too far? Is there ever a limit to what we should know? Ignorance is a silly notion when there is so much available to us. If we want to understand something, we've pretty much attacked the problem until we come up with a plausible solution. I like our growth, I like knowing things. I'm just wondering where all this is going to take us. Nuclear weapons? Supercomputers? Maybe I'll buy a condo on mars in the future.

Anymore, it seems like anything is possible.
