“Did you know?”


In Carl Fisch’s “Did you know?” what matters is we need to realize that we have underestimated what the world can comprehend and do. First, 2006 college graduates out of the U.S, India, and China we had the least amount of college graduates (1.3 million) and china had the most (3.3 million). We think the rest of the world has no good learning techniques but they seem to be doing more than we do like all the college graduates in India speak fluent English. But I think what matters the most is that we have become so attached to technology that we have become extremely lazy. Like Americas 21 year olds have talked on the phone for at least 10,000 hours, and the number of text messages sent every day exceeds the population. And what has come most striking to me is that 1 of 8 couples in the U.S today met online. And for the computer to get 50 million users/ fans only took 4 years. So for the most part what matters in the video “Did you know” is we need to become less dependent on technology or at least realize how it is affecting us. Also we cannot underestimate the rest of the world because soon enough they may just pass us up.
