Some of you may have already seen a presentation floating around with a lot of WOW statistics about China and India and technology. If not, you can view it here: http://www.glumbert.com/media/shift
We're told that China has more honor students than the US has students, has the largest English-speaking population in the world.
It gets even spookier when they get into technology. 106 million users of MySpace would be the 11th largest country in the world.
How about 1.5 exabytes of new information generation this year, or fiber optics that can transmit 10 trillion bits per second, and tripling every 6 months?
I don't believe it. According to these kinds of predictions twenty years ago, we were supposed to robots now. Where is my robot?
