  • Thought provoking, some interesting fact...

    .

    By Papadavid 1175531992
  • 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..

    By chinacockney 1175483432
    • pretty much all

      We use pretty much all of brain's capability. I would know, I lost a bet.

      By pawkveli 1176189383
    • you're both wrong...

      we use closer to 10% of the brain's power.

  • 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.

    By I L Soccer 1175478401
    • 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.

    • .....

      you put the information in their hands and let people save themselves....the andvantage of all this information is to help ALL of man kind and to prevent all those horrible things that you talk about above.

    • absolutely compelled.

      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.

  • Wow.

    The video blew me away. Especially about naming the country (richest etc), I was say either America or China...but seeing my own country made me spit my coffee out. =O

  • fabulous work!

    where did u get all this information?

    By philoudela 1175466018
    • well im not sure

      if thses informations are really wright or not specially that from the music you can know that the person is come from china!so i mean when you are from some where for sure u will say that u are the best. but u really have to prove it.for example thats wright that with in a society a percent of the persons are inteligent but how can u say that the nombers of them in china are greater than the pop of the north america?what did u thinck?you have thought about a percentage of 30 or more?!!!!i cant accept it

      By welches 1175500204
    • 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
    • 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

      By welches 1175805335
    • .

      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.

    • music not from china

  • TOO LONG

    AND BORING

    By matmetacafe 1176094239
  • 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.

    By Vierotchka 1175791821
    • 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
    • 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.
