"Shift Happens"

Today in Human Geo we watched a video called "shift happens". This video tells us facts about the world. 
 
As you watch the video, pick out three of the facts presented, and consider the following:
  • What was your initial reaction to what you saw?
  • How are these changes manifesting themselves in your personal life?
  • How much of a role does technology play in your life?



   1.  If Facebook was a country, it would be the third largest country in the World. Behind China and India.
 When i saw this fact I was shocked at first. Then i realized that their are so many people in the world who our on social media. A couple years ago Facebook was "the hit". Now Facebook isn't that popular in U.S, but people still get on. This changed my personal life because I rarely ever get on Facebook anymore. This doesn't play much of a role in my life because i didn't really like Facebook and now i don't get on.


2. China will soon be the number 1 English speaking country. I didn't really believe this because it is America and we speak English. Why would another country be speaking our language? But there are so many more people in China and most people in China are learning to speak English. 


3. Facebook is available in more than 70 languages. I knew that Facebook had many languages, but not 70! Having Facebook in different languages gives people all over the world to enjoy social media.
