Did You Know This?? 3.0


There are two very important facts that I came across while watching the short YouTube clip “Did You Know 3.0”.

The first fact that I thought was very important was that “Digital music sales in 2011 outstripped physical sales for the first time.” This fact is a great way to visualize the direction that society is moving. The world if not already is going through the “Digital Age”. Imagine, the average phone can hold 100 times more space than the first computer.  This shows that technology has increased rapidly over the past 10-20 years.  This also shows that Society is keeping up with rapid technology advancements. In conclusion, I like this fact because it represents life today.

The second fact that I thought was quite intriguing was “There are 31 billion searches on Google every month”. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. It is great because Google makes life much easier and the more users on Google the better Google becomes. However, it is also a bad thing. I believe that no one should depend on only one thing. In addition, Google has access to every single Google search you have ever made. This means that Google knows a lot about you, and I think that no one should have that information other than you.

 

In conclusion, technology is growing rapidly every day. Better and better tech is created and society is increasing in intelligence and worldwide awareness. Even though there is a dark side to this , the Pros outweigh the Cons.
