'Did you know' problems of the future paradoxes

                Today in class we watched and discussed a did you know video. This video talked about population growth, technology, and lots of statistics for the future. The video mainly focused on how the world is going to be in the future with technology, as well as very advanced concepts involving the birth rate and how that will affect our whole world in the future. The video went into so much detail it’s very hard to write about it without the reader having to watch it, but the discussion that ensued was even more interesting. During the discussion we discussed how the issues that affect us now would be totally different later, and that we need to be prepared for things that we don’t even know about yet. The crazy thing is, our technology is advancing so fast that by the time high-schoolers are in their third year for college the stuff they’ve already learned will be outdated. The speed of acceleration of the knowledge we gain has multiplied so much that everything we learn will outdated within years. This discovery rate is also supposed to multiply over time, making our learning and the ability to out date our current information even greater, raising the new question. How will we continue educating the next generation of people?
