Okay, fine... a few teaser facts...

There are more honor students in China than there are children in America.

If MySpace were a country, it would be ranked 11th in population.

It is estimated that a week's worth of the New York Times contains more information than a person was likely to encounter in a lifetime in the 18th century.

Third generation fiber optics were recently tested. They push 10 trillion bits of information down a single strand. That is 150 million simultaneous phone conversations or 1900 CD's. The capability of this technology triples every six months and is expected to do so for the next 20 years.

By 2023 it will only cost $1000 to purchase a computer exceeding the processing capability of the human brain.

I wasn't kidding... it will blow your mind.

Elsteverino is back?

ChinoCharles · 02-13-2007, 09:01 PM

I don't think the video is anti-US at all. It appears that way in the first couple of minutes, but after a while you begin to see what the real point is.

There is much more to a large population than a huge knowledge base. You have to feed all those people too, you know? Gas, electric, water, etc... what a huge challenge for the world.

And yes... he's baaaaaaaack.
