Did You Know? 3.0 and Mr. Winkle Wakes

"Did You Know" was really neat. It had interesting facts, and some were also surprising. It's amazing to see how far we've come in this world. Where would we be without technology? We wouldn't even have this class. But then again, where would we be without it? We'd be much more dependent on ourselves and others. We'd actually have to do things on our own.
It's sad to see, though, that a college student getting his/her four-year degree, may not even need the information they learned in their first year by the time they're almost done with college. Can we keep up? Some computers may be smarter than us all by 2013. We won't even need to think anymore. It's just a race against ourselves...let's hope we win.
"Mr. Winkle Wakes" makes you think. Again, it's really neat to see how far we've come in this lifetime. I mean, I even remember when cell phones first came out. They were huge and some even plugged into your car. Now, some are as small as your hand and can even access the internet.
Again, there's the scary reality that technology could overtake us. In the video, Mr. Winkle was glad to see that school didn't change. That is promising. If we let technology overtake everything, then we forget where we come from.
