After watching " Did You Know 2.0, and 4.0", I was pretty shocked by the some the facts that were shown in the video, and how fast technology grew in a short amount of time, and how technology has changed our lives for the better. While watching 4.0 I did realize that the digital world took up so much of the real world. I do spend a lot of time on internet then I do reading a book, watching T.V or even opening up a magazine, because it's all right in front of me as I am surfing the web. In 2008 during the presidential debate I thought it was smart how  president Barack Obama use social networking instead of attending campaign fundraisers like John McCain and raised more money then he did in a short amount of time. In " Did You Know 2.0 ", the facts that I found to be fascinating is how countries such as India, and China are more developed than the United States, in areas of education. What really grabbed my attention was the last two minutes of the clip when it encourages you to ask the question to your principle, " How are you helping my child become illiterate in the 21st century, and when it encourages you to ask your school board, " Are you providing the resources and training necessary to prepare students to be successful in 21 century society?" To be honest I never really though of those questions, and to me that is important. We can use technology effectively in the classroom and to help education our children with, it can open there eyes to show them whats out there in the world today.
