Sometimes size does matter! If you’re one in a million in China
There are 1, 300 people just like you.
In India there are 1, 100 just like you.
The 25% of the population in China with the highest IQ’S…
Is greater than the population of North America
In India, it’s the top 28%.
Translation for teachers: They have more honors kids than we have kids.
How Do We Compete? • • • We educate our own Technicians Service technicians and occupations Teachers Community based professions Their population is going to need support How do we access 6. 5 Billion people
Did you Know? China will soon become the number one English speaking country in the world.
If you took every single job in the U. S. today and shipped it to China….
China would still have a labor surplus.
During the course of this presentation…
60 babies will be born in the U. S. 244 babies will be born in China. 351 babies will be born in India.
The U. S. Department of Labor estimates that today’s learner will have 10 -14 jobs….
By the age of 38.
According to the U. S. Department of Labor….
1 out of 4 workers today is working for a company they have been employed by for less than one year.
More than 1 out of 2 are working for a company they have worked for less than five years.
According to former Secretary of Education Richard Riley…
The top 10 in-demand jobs in 2010 didn’t exist in 2004.
We are currently preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist….
Using technologies that haven’t been invented…
In order to solve problems we don’t even know are problems yet.
The U. S. is the 20 th in the world in broadband Internet penetration. (Luxembourg just passed us. )
In 2002 alone Nintendo invested more than $140 million in research and development.
The U. S. Federal Government spent less than half as much on Research and Innovation.
1 out every 8 couples married in the U. S. last year met online.
There are over 100 million registered users of My. Space. (Aug. 2006)
The average My. Space page is visited 30 times a day.
The number of text messages sent and received everyday exceeds the population of the planet.
It’s estimated that 1. 5 exabyte's (that’s 1. 5 x 1018) of unique new information will be generated worldwide this year.
That’s estimated to be more than in the previous 500 years
The amount of new technical information is doubling every 2 years.
That means for a student starting a four -year technical or college degree…
Half of what they learn in their first year of study will be outdated by their third year of study.
It’s predicted to double every 72 hours by 2010.
Third generation fiber optics has been separately tested by NEC and Alcatel…
That pushes 10 trillion bits per second down one strand of fiber.
That’s 1, 900 CD’S or 150 million simultaneous phone calls every second.
It’s currently tripling about every 6 months and is expected to do so for at least the next 20 years. Effectively at no additional cost.
47 million laptops were shipped worldwide last year.
The $100 laptop project is expecting to ship between 50 and 100 million laptops a year to children in underdeveloped countries.
By 2023, a $1000 computer will exceed the capabilities of the Human Brain
First grader Abby will be just 23 years old and beginning her (first) career…
And while technical predictions farther out than 15 years are hard to do….
Predictions are that by 2049 a $1000 computer will exceed the computational capabilities of the human race.
How does this affect the way we teach and learn?

Reading in America: Consider the following statistics: • Only 14% of adults with a grade school education read literature in 2002. • 51% of the American population never reads a book over 400 pages after they complete their formal education. • 73% of all books in libraries are never checked out. • The average American watches 32 hours of TV every week. • The average American reads only eight hours (books, newspapers, magazines, Yellow Pages, etc. ) every week. • The average American annually spends ten times more on what he puts on his head than what puts into his head.
Reading in America Consider the following: • If you read just one book per month for 12 straight months, you will be in the top 25 percentile of all intellectuals in the world! • If you read five books on one subject, you are one of the world’s foremost leading authorities on that subject!

Near Future Needs Think about it as we loose our Electronics Programs: • By 2010, personal transportation devices will be all the rage, and electric shoes with built-in roller-skates will be gaining much of the attention. After nine years of heavy media coverage, the Segway Human Transporter will begin to gain serious market share. • By 2015, traditional gas-powered autos will start to decline with electric automobiles and hybrids taking up most of the slack. • Frictionless engines will form the basis of new propulsion systems for space travel.
The Power Industry • Space-based power stations will be operational, supplying a significant percentage of the world's power needs. • Nearly all light bulbs will have disappeared, replaced with binary power creating points of light in space.
The Power Industry • Electric vehicles will start to make major market inroads around 2015 because of improved battery technologies and because of the fact that the electric infrastructure is already in place for rapid "refueling. " Hydrogen will make some inroads but will not become anything more than a niche industry.
Binary power • To better explain binary power, think in terms of two invisible beams intersecting in a room and the point at which they intersect is a glowing point of light. Yes, binary power eventually will replace all light bulbs. And lest you think it can only be used for intense forms of power, it also will be used to create "points" of sound, eliminating the need for speakers and headphones.
Near Future Needs • By 2020, we will see an industry being built up around self-illuminating highways - highways that glow in the dark. "Glow roads" will dramatically change the nighttime aesthetics of major cities and will be shown to improve driving safety at night and reduce the need for streetlights. • With GPS guidance systems and controls there will be no need for traffic courts
The emerging space industry By 2050 • • We will have fully functioning space elevators operating at full capacity, moving both people and supplies into space. More than 1 million people will have visited the moon. Several dozen space hotels will have made a major impact on tourism. Several space stations will have been started as small working cities to build the next generation of space-based industries.
Space Elevator
Carbon Nanotubes • • The space elevator would ferry satellites, spaceships, and pieces of space stations into space using electric lifts clamped to the ribbon. The discovery of carbon Nanotubes and the ongoing development to implement them into a composite is the key to space elevator viability being achieved in the coming years. 1000 th the thickness of human hair- stronger than steel
