The did you know presentations made me think of how many cool facts there were out in the world that i didnt even know about. When I think about it, it makes me look at the world of how big it is and how many things there are and how many things that can happen that I might not hear about. That video informed me about a lot of things I didnt know about and when I was watching all that was going through my head was how cool it was. I was absolutely amazed.

Watching this it made me think about how much is really going on in this world. The thing that really stood out to me was the number of people and babies being born in china. When I think about how many people there are on this planet it blows my mind. There are billions of people living their daily lives just like I am and it doesn't feel like the Earth is big enough to hold billions of people. I am really blown away to think that millions of miles away there are people just doing their normal thing.

I honestly new next to none of the facts the "Did You Know?" video talked about. It really opened my eyes about how much the human raise is expanding, not only in population but in technological capability. My family is always saying how lucky I am growing up surrounded by touch screens and smart phones. The video made me think about what kids of the next generation will be growing up with.

I thought that the presentations were very interesting. I didn't know all the facts about India and China (which were pretty cool). It makes me realize how big our planet really is and how many things are happening all at this very moment. I was absolutely astonished by the facts on the presentations.

The did you know videos showed me many great and interesting facts about the world. They made me think about what we really rely on and how we all truly depend on data and WiFi to live everyday, even though these aren't true necessities. The world is becoming a English speaking world. China is about to be the biggest English speaking country in the world. How I look at these videos might impact my academics by soon our schools will only use computers, tablets, phones, etc.. It is amazing to see how far america, and the whole entire world change in the technology department.

After watching the Did You Know presentations, I felt like I had been looking at the world through glasses when I didn't need any glasses at all. It definitely made me a little scared of what's to come in the future, but it also made me more determined to do well in school so when I get thrown into the world of adulthood, I'll have a better chance to do well against all the competition from not only the US, but places like China and India as well who have a great advantage with all the education they're provided. I am grateful I'm no longer ignorant of these facts about the world of our generation and I can't begin to imagine what's in store for humanity in the very near future.

Did You Know, the television was thought to be just a fad, even the computer? Today we are surrounded by technology and it makes me think how unlucky I am to be part of the world where college is no longer recommended for a good job but mandatory, where people are replaced by computers, where the human race is so obsessed that they text or google at every stop light or interact more with their phone than their colleagues. This will impact me and my academics greatly for I need a computer everywhere I go and a smartphone to take pictures to simply to fit in. What will become of my son or his son, will humans remain as the viruses of the world or will viruses take their place? Famous sayings pass from one language to the another, from one person to another, from one website to another, too much of a good thing can be a bad thing, yet we never abide from the words of our forefathers. In this video I view the world badly for they have been consumed with the technology, they are dreamers but every dreamer must wake!!

The Did You Know? presentations made me think about how fast our world is moving and how far behind you can become if you don't pay attention to the world. The videos made me think about learning something other then tech. to start college.

The video that we watched in class was really interesting. It just shows how fast our world is growing and how we are trying to keep up with it. Everyone only sees such a small portion of the whole world. There is so much going on and we might not know about it. That there are so many people and so many jobs and we a preparing people for things that don't exist. How can you even do that? I thought this video was really interesting and I learned a lot.

The Did You Know video made me think about how fast humans and technologies are advancing. The video we watched in class impacted the way I think about my academics because I now know that the things i’m learning will not be taught in two years. The world is rapidly increasing in many things and education is always going to keep improving but it’s outrageous to think about how fast things are being changed every second, every minute, every year, and every generation. I view the world much different. Now, I notice the bigger pictures and it makes me realize how small i am in such a large world. Even though my generation is young, we are becoming old and our trends are being out rated. The world is changing and progressing at exceeding rates.

The definitely make me think because I now wonder how many more interesting facts could be out there that I don't know about. This could impact me because I might stop to try and find a fact like these when doing an assignment to help support my position even more. It also made think about how there are probably tons of more facts like that out there that no one knows about.

I liked how inspiring this video was. It made me want to work harder. And to try 100%, 100% of the time.

The presentation gave very good insight about education in the world we live in. t shows how the US one of the greatest countries ever, is so far behind in education and how we should be #1. The presentation also showed how the world is moving ahead so fast and how its hard for education to keep up with it. It shows how jobs in the future will be very different from the ones we have now. It shows how technology is shaping the world we live in.

I love how inspired this makes me but it also kinda depressing because it shows that basically everything we have learned is pointless because everything is going to change and that America doesn't give out the most smart people. It makes me think how smart China and India have and how many educated people they have. It really opened my eyes up to the world and showed me whats going on.

Watching the Did You Know presentations made me think about how society progresses in co-relation to technology. With each generation, people use and understand technology in their lives. To think what I am learning now might not even be relevant in five years is unbelievable and it makes me want to question the learning content in schools. So much of social media keeps us updated in issues such like racism, sexism, homophobia, classism, ect. The video was very eye opening

The "Did you Know" presentations was incredible because I didn't know anything about it and the world is having more new things. Also it made me think about our future, how it will have a million new things and new information about the world. The video had so many wonderful facts that I didn't know about and I was just so amazed by it. It makes me wonder what we will have in the future and if our world will still stay the same after the future comes. It was such an awesome presentation and new things will come in the future.

These videos made me think a lot about whats really going on in the world. Eventually China will be speaking better English then us that's crazy i would have never seen that coming. If this is all happening in our generation i wonder what going to happen in our great grandchildren's generation. it shows how much our academics matter. China has more honor students then we have students this is mind blowing!

The "did You Know" presentation make me really think about how big the world really is. It also made me think about how the things I learn know do and do not matter. I was in shock by the end and I believe it was a nice add on to the class and much needed to show.

The "did you know" presentations made me think of how this world is shaping and evolving. For instance, the population is growing at a fast rate that we have to accommodate to. A lot of jobs are being taken by technology leaving people without work. This presentation showed me statistics I never would have known.This makes me think about what my future holds and what the world will be like.

I think that is going to change my thinking about the world so much and that makes me want to try even harder to be a better person and to try harder for school jobs and anything else that comes in my way.
Sorry just figured out that I forgot and didn't do it. My fault. :(

The “did you know” videos opened my eyes to how the world is progressing. Technology and population is making progress rapidly and the fact that we are being educated for jobs that have not even been created yet is insane. That tells me that academics is important and that the US is nothing compared to the rest of the world.

The Video made me think more about what is going on in the world. The thing that suprised me was to think how many babies are born in China. and it suprises me how many people can fit on this small, small planet

that video made me realize some of the things that are happening/changing in the world and i thought that was cool. one of the facts about how that china will soon be the biggest English speaking country in the world.

The video(s) made me think a lot more about what and how much is going on in the world today. If I do think more about what if going on in the world today and how much it has changed it makes me think about how much the world has changed. When you think about all the little things in the world today you realize how much it has changed and how all the people that are on the planet can fit on this planet. Will there ever need to be another planet to be used for all the population. Could we all die off?
