Very interesting!
I don't think most people realize just how huge China and India are - loved that stat that they have more honor students than North America has students.
How old is that though - I wondered as it kept referencing MySpace and making predictions about the year 2010.

This original version of the video is from 2007. There are updated versions on YouTube. Yeah, their stats on MySpace pale in comparison to FaceBook just hitting 500 million subscribers here in 2010.
And you can download 100 million of those Facebook users' info. :roll:
I do so agree that most people are not aware of the number of students from China and India and how that may impact our future. We have been on top for so long that it is hard to imagine another country being "us". My husband was watching a show about the road system in China and how they took ours and improved upon it to handle the massive amount of industrial traffic...roads are built a foot wider,etc. They seem to be improving on our ideas.
