be sure that the source in that video is valid. Saw a couple of typos in the video which made me lose confidence.

The facts presented in this video aren't new... I think version one came out a couple years ago. This is the latest iteration of the video, and it was jazzed up with better visual effects and stuff. Whatever the case, I'm quite sure all of the facts have been verified, as this presentation has been used quite widely in education, supposedly.

This is the wiki page for the video:

I'm just saying, don't believe EVERYTHING you see, especially without some valid references, and ESPECIALLY if you read it on Wikipedia. Not saying the vid is completely wrong....I just play devils advocate a lot.

If you look up the population of India and China its very reasonable that the number of graduates are greater than all the kids in America. As with every thing else, the numbers are very reasonable. Though i don't know about the computer being greater than the human brain anytime soon. It really is crazy though, the amount of kids graduating from China and India. Makes me feel so insignificant.

In my perspective i think that theres going to be a huge shift of power from America to China and India. For example, if you look at the number of gold medal that China has won in the Olympics. based on their population, they would have a much higher chances of giving birth to some genius.

Any thoughts about whether or not America will be able to sustain all the wealth in their country? I think in the next couple years we may begin to see the US losing their wealth and the world resources will be distributed much more evenly. If you look at some of the top leaders like Bill Gates, it seems as though money is being invested into the 3rd world. By helping them grow, i think they may soon be able to advance their economy much further. On the other hand their population may just keep growing and growing. Hence, the amount of wealth will be spread out more.
