Did you know 3.0

I just watched the video "Did you know? 3.0" and it was fascinating. It is hard to even comprehend the fast pace at which technology is growing in the world. By the time I have children and they are grown the world will have almost completely changed. Instead of sitting around with new technologies coming about rarely, as humans have done for a couple millenniums, today's world is one in which new technologies and advances in science and medicine are coming out almost every day.
It will be interesting to see just how deeply new technology will affect the coming years. Many speculate that when Apple releases its' new "tablet" that this new device will be a world changer and lead people into an even more accelerated rate of producing new technologies. It is clear that the United States has fallen drastically behind in education as well as many other areas in the rankings of countries. Only time will tell if it is even possible for us to regain our top spot, or if we can even catch up.
