According to former Secretary of Education Richard Riley . . .

…the top 10 in-demand jobs in 2010 didn’t exist in 2004.

We are currently preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist . . .

…using technologies that haven’t been invented . . .

…in order to solve problems we don’t even know are problems yet.

Name this country . . .

The U.S. Federal Government spent less than half as much on Research and Innovation.

1 out of every 8 couples married in the U.S. last year met online.

There are over 100 million registered users of MySpace. (August 2006)

The average MySpace page is visited 30 times a day.

Did you know . . .

We are living in exponential times.

There are over 2.7 billion searches performed on Google each month.

To whom were these questions addressed B.G.? (Before Google)

The number of text messages sent and received every day exceeds the population of the planet.

There are about 540,000 words in the English language . . .

…about 5 times as many as during Shakespeare’s time.

More than 3,000 new books are published . . .

…daily.

It’s estimated that a week’s worth of New York Times . . .

…contains more information than a person was likely to come across in a lifetime in the 18th century.

It’s estimated that 1. 5 exabytes (that’s 1 It’s estimated that 1.5 exabytes (that’s 1.5 x 1018) of unique new information will be generated worldwide this year.

That’s estimated to be more than in the previous 5,000 years.

The amount of new technical information is doubling every 2 years.

That means for a student starting a four-year technical or college degree . . .

…half of what they learn in their first year of study will be outdated by their third year of study.

It’s predicted to double every 72 hours by 2010.

Third generation fiber optics has recently been separately tested by NEC and Alcatel . . .

…that pushes 10 trillion bits per second down one strand of fiber.

That’s 1,900 CDs or 150 million simultaneous phone calls every second.

It’s currently tripling about every 6 months and is expected to do so for at least the next 20 years.

The fiber is already there, they’re just improving the switches on the ends. Which means the marginal cost of these improvements is effectively $0.
