This will blow your mind

Shift Happens is the winner of the World’s Best Presentation Contest from SlideShare.net. This slideshow will absolutely blow your mind. The statistics are just beyond belief (China will soon become the number one English speaking country in the world, If you took every single job in the U.S. and shipped it to China…China would still have a labor surplus). If this slideshow doesn’t make you think twice about, well, everything, then you’re not really thinking about it. I was absolutely dumbfounded after reading it, and was unable to really think about anything for a few minutes afterward.

With the speed at which information and technology are growing, and the rate of that growth, humans will soon be outdated. Our brains will no longer have the capacity to understand and comprehend what is going on around us. We’ll become dependent on computers to interpret, store, and organize the data (more completely than we do now), and without those computers we will be unable to function. With the advent of more intelligent computing systems and artificial intelligence just over the horizon, are we making ourselves obsolete?
