Today in class we watched a video from youtube showing how much the world has changed. Here are some interesting facts I learned: First, 1 in 4 workers have been with their current employer for less than 1 year. This means that they switch jobs a lot. Second, most 21 year olds have watched 20,000 hours of t.v.! That is a lot of free time. Third, more than 70% of U.S. four year olds have used a computer! I don't think that I even knew how to work a computer at four years old. Fourth, it took the radio 38 years for 50 million people to catch on, the t.v. 13, and the computer only 4. This fact I find most interesting because it shows how interested people are in technology now as oppose to 40 years ago. Finally, there are more than 540,000 words in the English language. All of these facts are pretty cool and show how much the world has changed.
