Today's Class 9/16/09

Today's class was a real wake up call about how much technology has taken over society. We watched a video about percentages of how many people are on myspace, games, emails, facebook, etc. There were very high percentages and that shocked me. Technology has come a very long way and has now spread across the World. We also talked about how young children are playing video games on the computer for hours and don't get up. It's amazing to me how back when my dad was a kid, he would tell me stories how kids would play games all day because they had nothing else to do. Now, kids are entertained by games on the computer, facebook, and myspace. This can also cause many children to gain weight and develop unhealthy habits because they do not get enough exercise. I was also surprised that soon the US will not be the number one country that speaks English. China, will soon be the number one English speaking country. I think this because the US are getting lots of immigrants and bringing their culture and language with them, causing less and less English language. China has a high percentage of English because they are learning English, and they have alot more people than the US. Today, I learned many new shocking percents and facts about the US, that I didn't think was that big of a deal. Now, the things that people thought were going to be nothing, has now made billions of dollars and has spread across the World.
