DID YOU KNOW?


In this short Youtube video (4:42), http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL9Wu2kWwSY, it shows a very interesting video of how over the years the population around the world and the population of internet users have changed significantly. I found this video very interesting with all the statistical information they presented regarding the population of the U.S and like China. It grasped my attention due to the way the wording was and how large in size the numbers were to some facts. It showed of how over the last decades the number of people have increased drastically. What caught my attention was the part of how long did it take to reach 5o million viewers. For instance, the tv took a little over 10 ten years for 50 million to buy it and the ipod took like 3 and facebook took only 2 years. That is amazing how a social networking site can have more people than the people who owned a tv. I do believe that it made the U.S seem under China and India, like they were better in a way. All the statistical numbers were much greater in those countries than in the U.S. To sum it up, I thought it was a very interesting article as to how they compare the U.S to the other countries.
