To begin with, all of the „Did you know“ and „Shift happens“ videos have one thing in common. To invoke a feeling ow „Wow!“, „Whoa!“, „How terrible!“, „How sad!“ etc. And I don’t like it. If you think about it, they are just facts. Good? Bad? Just facts. India having more honor kids than USA kids? What a surprise. Not only there is so many kids in india they are standing one on another, but we all know Americans aren’t „the sharpest knife in a drawer“ considering population IQ. 

Printed media disappearing on behalf of online magazines? How terrible, right? Yes. But it’s too late to cry over a lost gills. Evolution is unstoppable and irreversible. 
More videos uploaded to YouTube in last 2 month than on ABC in it’s existence? Now comparing apples and pears, are we? Needless to say more.
Now for the Visions of students. What do we know about the background of this „research“? Done by 200 students. Pretty small number, in my oppinion. 200 students from one school, as it seems. And what do they tell us? They write x times more pages of e-mail than schol work, they read x times more web pages than books … In the video, it’s presented like some of that „Oooh, wow!“, but what the hell? It’s just a simple fact. Sure they e-mail and surf more than their fathers and grandmothers at their ages, since the internet is widely used for only several years. And more drama follows and follows … 
To sum up – the facts are interesting, but not astonishing. A whole new world of cyberspace and surrounding digital media has appeared. Individuals began accepting it a way quicker than state organisations, yet the individuals may demand state to parcitipate faster and on a larger scale. Is it good? Is it bad? In my oppinion, mankind went wrong the second it began it's existence.
Negative person? Yes, I am.
Oh, and for more interesting „Fakts“ see a Harvie Krumpet movie - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouyVS6HOFeo
