Entry #2: Do they really know?

I actually was thinking about the video we watched in class and decided that I would talk about that right now. The video above though, is not the original one we watched in class. It is now, the one from June 2007 and I feel that these videos are complete crap.

I watched the entire eight minutes and however many seconds and saw the same "statistics and information" spilled out to me as the one watched in class. The only difference? The years that which all this new information and technology would be exceeding our brain knowledge. They are the same numbers of  new born children, the same numbers of college graduates, that China will be the #1 English speaking country in a "few years."

I would like to use different phrasing on how I say all this info is crap, but it's not professional. I have learned in the stats classes I have taken that most of the information that companies and people come up with are made up or use a small sample to talk about a lot of people; i.e. a population.

I am quite saddened by the fact that people actually believe these things.
