  1. I think the author is trying to give us facts and understanding of world. I know this because they give us clear and direct facts, such as facts about technology, about different places around the world and most importantly how world is changing. I believe this because They gave us facts about how our English language changed, how many babies born every 5 minutes, facts about Facebook,Twitter, Myspace and a lot more. That is why I think the author was trying to give us facts about the world and a understanding of the world.

    • I think you are on the right track, but I think you may need to be more specific. Think of the themes of education, change and competition.

  2. The main idea its telling us is there`s more electronics being maid everyday like in 1984 there was only 1000 electronics now there`s 100,000,000. So there trying to say we in the future will be way more different then we are now.

    • I totally agree that technology is changing us and how we relate to each other. What does that mean for you and your future. Is your learning right now going to help you manage this world?

  3. The main idea is trying to tell us that everything in the future and now are changing and going to change. But the main message is every two years things will change dramatically and in the next few years coming everything will be different, the entire internet life will grow by over one billion more users and just technology itself will grow tremendously.
    In the video it talks about how face book has over one billion users and is used in over seventy languages and how they are preparing kids for jobs that don’t exist yet , and using technology that has not yet been invented yet.

    • Dramatic and rapid change is very prominent in this video! What does that mean for you as a young person? How will it effect your life and education?

      • It will affect me and most people in this class room in the future because some of the things we will be when we grow up have not yet been invented and most of the technology we will use in our daily lives and on our path to becoming what will be.

  4. i think it is trying to tell us that we are going to face more challenging things when we grow old and there will be more jobs and tecnoligy.

  5. I think that the main idea in this video is that how much the world has changed through the years. How much the world has over populated, how different we are now then we were then. How places like China and India have more honor kids than America even HAS kids! The technology that we have now in 2014 is so phenomenal that we don’t even realize the things we have and can accomplish. I think that if you just stop and take a second to realize your surroundings you can go a long way.

  6. Did you know?
    At the end it has a question what does it mean

    The answer means every year the world is changing and new facts are being created and there’s a mystery behind this question. And when facts are created it gets confusing and stuff like 67 babies being created in 5 minutes does not make any sense at all. And it’s always going to have confusing facts.

  7. I think the video is mainly speaking to the united states but it adds some facts in about how India has more talented kids that America has kids and how there are 31 billion people in china and the population is still growing bigger every second.

  8. I think the main idea of this video is that it’s trying to tell us what has been happening during past years and how that idea is getting bigger and growing ever year. Example: New technology that is being invented is doubling every 2 years. It also tells us things that have happened in the past years such as: The first ever sent text was in 1992. I think it also tells us cool things that happen as we speak. In only 5 minutes 67 babies were born in the U.S, 274 babies were born in China and 395 babies were born in India! That is why I think that the main idea of this video is to show us amazing facts of new things growing larger every year, awesome things that have happened in the past and things that tell us what happens in only minutes!

  9. I think the main idea of this video is that the author is saying that there will be smarter computers in the future and there will be a bigger population so the companies will have to make more electronics.

  10. I think that the author is trying to give us fact about the world and that there is more and more people than before, that in 2013 when reached the age 38 would have had up to 10 jobs already so we have to get ready for more because there is probabely going to be more tecnoligy in the future.

  11. I think the main idea of this video is to tell us that technology and other things in the world are evolving rapidly. I know this because in the text it said that in 2008 there were 31 billion searches a month and in and in 2006 there was only 2.7 billion searches a month so if the number of searches a month goes up around 28 billion in two years that’s a clear answer to how its evolving rapidly.

  12. I think the main idea is just to tell people information and facts about what is and was going on in the world. I think that because in the video it tells you a bunch of facts about the world such as how long it took things to reach 50 million people that use it, and it also tells you that we are preparing students for jobs that don’t even exist yet in the world. I know that because in the video it says “it took 2 years for Facebook to reach 50 million users.” and that “we are preparing students for jobs that don’t even exist yet.”That is what I think the main idea of the video is.

  13. I think that the author is trying to tell us that technology and education are changing the world. I think that because in the video it says that we are currently preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist,using technologies that haven’t been invented to solve problems that have not happened.It also says that in 2011 1 in 8 couples met on-line and also that the first commercial message was sent in 1992 but now the number of text messages sent and received exceeds the number of people living in the world! That’s how much we’re changing!

  14. I think the author is trying to give us ideas about the world and what happens in it and that there will be more stuff and more things and newer things when we are adults and seniors.

  15. I think that the main idea of this video is that things change, a lot… For example in 1986 there were 1000 electronic devices, but by 1992 there were 1million! That’s a big change in only the course of 6 years! Also I think its explaining how much our lives revolve around technology; like how in North America 1 out of every 8 couples had met online, or through online dating services, that means a lot of North Americans lives, even romantic lives revolve around the internet and how there are 31 BILLION google searches every month!! The last thing I think this video is trying to show is, how fast our population is growing… because in the course of the video (4 minutes 56 seconds) 67 babies were born in America, 275 in China, and 395 in India, so it’s showing how much our population grows in such a short time.
