I know it is one of the most viewed and distributed clips on the internet but for those who love facts and figures this is again a must see.
Because most facts are again very interesting here is a selection from the clip:
- Almost 90 percent of the things in your home are made oversea.
- 5 million U.S. jobs have been lost to foreign countries in the last 10 years.
- Consumer dept has almost tripled over the last 10 years.
- Last year more Americans filled for bankruptcy than graduated from college.
- It is estimated that the 'largest employer" in the U.S. by 2015 will be you (self employed) in a home based internet business.
- Self employed people earn an average of 2x more than people employed by a company.
- In the next 24 month it is estimated that U.S. online transactions will surpass store transactions at shopping malls.
Some other facts from another 'did you know' clip:
- There are now 31 billion searches on Google every month. In 2006 this number was 2,7 billion.
- By 2013 a supercomputer will be built that exceeds the computational capabilities of the human brain.
- Predictions are that by 2049 a $1000 dollar computer will exceed the computational capabilities of the entire human species.
- Every 4 minutes 694.000 songs are downloaded illegally.
I think something worth thinking about during the weekend. Especially for the American readers of Extend Limits who have to vote within a few days. These facts are for you!
