Some interesting things... but there's a lot of incorrect conclusion jumping in that... like this bit:
"The amount of new technical information is doubling every 2 years... For students starting a 4 year technical degree this means that... half of what they learn in their first year of study will be outdated by their third year of study." That's just wrong.

I thought there were some interesting things, like the number of honor students in India is larger then the number of children in the US. Craziness!

i thought it was fascinating. i think sometimes people are too shortsighted to see the unique time we're living in. scientific and technological advances are happening at an exponential rate.. in the information age humankind has made more progress than in all of the other ages combined.
it's kind of mind-blowing when you think about it |
