YouTube vidoes

The first youtube video that I watched was about thing I hear about all the time, but still blows me away each time I see it. One thing that caught my eye was that China will soon be the largest English speaking nation on Earth. It seems like the more the years pass, the more the world wants to get on the same page with each other. The internet is making things like this possible.

Another thing that got my attention was that we are being prepared for jobs that are not even created yet. I am glad that we are smart enough to realize that things are changing at such a rapid pace that we must prepare for anything that might come our way. Even jobs that will still be around in twenty years will have so much more technology in that field that everyone must get on board with this. Those that are illiterate to technology will have a tough time keeping up with the world.

The Mr. Winkles video is a lot like the first one in that it shows how far we have come along. Mr. Winkles woke up after 100 years and was shocked at all the things around that were not there when he went to sleep. If someone were to do that now, I have a feeling there would be more changes for us than there were for Mr. Winkles.

The only thing that looked familiar to Mr. Winkles was the school where the students were bored out of their mind listening to the teacher. This was a comforting sight to Mr. Winkles because it was something that had not changed since his day. I think the message the creator of this video was trying to get across is we cannot expect students to keep up with the advancing technology by simply letting them go to class and listen to lectures all day. We must let them get a hands on education and let them experience as much as possible first hand
