  • Excellent...

    very refreshing to be able to watch a video that is intelligent ...... don't agree on the statement that a computer will exceed the human brain, as we only, currently, use about 20% of its capability, so we therefore do not really know what it is capable of, well not yet anyway..

  • The END is......

    What is the advantage of all this information to humans, when 1/3 of world population is hungry, 1/6 of world population dont get water to drink. Whats the purpose, when we dont know who has created us, why we have been created, why are we on Earth, what is life and what is death, what are the moral values? We have not discovered more than 20% of biology and we have only discovered 1% of species that are present on the earth. With all this information the knowledge is running away and all i see is the END.

    • Only one percent?

      That's illogical - how do we know what percentage of species we have discovered if we don't know the full number of species? In order to know the full number of species, we have do discover them all.

      When the technology is there, it will only take a few individuals to shed the truth and all shadowy entities will be exposed for the masses to devour.

  • China

    If you look at China now, you can see that the video is becoming true.

    China's already sent their products here:
    - Haier
    - Vizio
    - Lenovo

    In a shorter time that it took for S. Korea to develop past the US in technology, China will pass S. Korea.

    • China has 1,313,973,713 (July 2006 est.)...

      if 25% of them are educated then that is approximately 330 million people. the US population is 298,444,215 (July 2006 est.). That is how he proved it. Although 25% is such a clean number for such an immense population, so he may or may not be accurate. Even the slightest change in that percentage would add or subtract millions from the total.

      BTW I got the numbers from google lol

      By LoudTurtle 1175795229 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • IQ not the education

      its talking about the IQ of the persons not the education of the people
      of coure it depends who to call to have a high IQ but for sure not all the persons which has been educated have got the high IQ
      normally less than 1% of the humans have a high IQ that can be increase in a society if they have had lots of exchanges with other racines. because they will take the best genetic from them and the worse will be die after 2 or 3 generations

      i do believe alot of these predictions are used using moores law. how about instead of not accepting it you research it a little. I put the persons name at the top that did this presentation for a reason.

  • Innacurate statements

    This is blatantly wrong - England is not the richest country in the world, neither does it have the largest military. Yes, it is one of the center of world business and finance, but not the world center of innovation and invention. Its currency is not the world standard of value, and it doesn't have the highest standard of living as it lags way behind the Scandinavian countries and Switzerland in that department.

    • in 1900

      you didn't catch that the video said that that was all true of England in the year 1900. its trying to show you that SHIFT happens.

      By Compelled 1175802576 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • You're right!

      But it is still wrong, the standard of living in England in 1900 was not the highest in the world, and at that date, the world center of innovation and invention was Imperial Russia.
