Did you know? By Mr. Fisch

Today I read Mr. Fisch's "Did You Know" power point. Wow! I knew about half of it the other half is kind of a "what the heck." In the power point it said at one point the amount of imformation we get will double every 72 hours. Thats really cool and all but, what are we supposed to do? With my rather short attention span and my super dumbness, how am I supposed to keep up? How could anybody keep up? I'm not sure this all matters though.
I try to make a text to world connection when I say, "Are we gonna live to see this." Bombs are created everyday, they get more advanced everyday, so, are we gonna live to see tomorrow? Is this super flow of information going to come back and stab us in the back, or is it going to make us all smart to the extreme? I don't know and to tell you the truth I'm scared to figure out.

The other thing that concerned me is China. China is getting bigger, better, and smarter. My moms boss (a big person in the buisness world) says (not being sure if this is correct) that 50% of the world speaks chinese. Do I need to speak chinese? Do I need to speak anything besides english or am I just "One sad, strange, little man?" (quoted by Buzz Lightyear)
