the fischbowl.assignment

This was a a surprising video.It really goes to show how technology is shrinking the world.I didn't realize just how fast it was happening.It is kind of frightening but exciting at the same time.I have three children the youngest is eight .I guess I haven't thought about how much technology has changed just in the time between the two of them being born.My youngest child knows so much about computers and the Internet compared to my eldest child at the same age.I have often wondered if maybe so much technology is hurting them.But now I wonder if they are learning enough fast enough to be able to compete in this tech world.The numbers expressed in this video for the amounts of exchange is unreal.
