The World's Technological Growth

The fact that I found most surprising was the one concerning supercomputers performing computation more effectively than the human brain. Others I found surprising were the one about how we have five times as many words in English now than in Shakespeare's age and the one about how fast information gets outdated, especially when pursuing a technical degree.

In the future, technology will become completely indispensable to human activities, interactions, and careers. People not trained to operate technology will be severely disadvantaged. Also, we will have to be readily adapted to frequent changes since technology updates itself rather quickly.

I don't expect much non-technological change to occur 10 years from now. Hopefully, the economic troubles in the world will lessen by then. Technology will be far more advanced in 10 years. As a result, we'll have much more alternatives to activities we do today.
