Shift happens!

Wow. That is what I was thinking throughout the whole movie. I had no idea what the movie was going to be about. When I clicked on the play button, the question, "did you know?" poppped up and it got my attention immediately.This movie showed how our technology has grown at an amazing rate. The number of people who set up myspace accounts just today blew my mind. The facts about the kids who had never had a textbook, but were given computers, was pretty amazing. They now have the whole world in their hands and they can be connected to you and me! That part about the kids who had never had a textbook before really just shows me how lucky I am to be given the opportunity to get an education. I know I complain alot about having to go to school, but at least I can have an education.

The U.S. is, alot of times, seen as the best in the world, but these facts from the movie skewed that idea a little bit. It talked about Great Britain being the richest, etc. at one point. I do not really pay attention to most of that kind of stuff, but I did not know that. I did know that our education system is not that great, compared to those of other countries, but why? One of the really big issues that the political campaigns focus on is education, so why is our system crappy?

The movie also talked about how some people are in school, learning about things that do not even exist yet. Another thing that kind of goes along with that, is that some of the majors that we have now did not exist in the years past! I really did not know that! That part of the movie was the coolest to me!I'm going to spread this movie because I think it is worth watching. It is interesting and gave me a different perspective than I am used to. Remember, shift happens!
