Holy Shift!

By TLS | January 13, 2008

This is an excellent slide show. I have often expressed my frustration with the state of education in the Unites States today. We could be in serious trouble in the future unless something is done about it NOW. The following slide show is thought provoking and almost alarming. I don’t know about you, but I want my children to be prepared to compete in the New World.

Some highlights:

- The 25% of the population of China with the highest IQs is greater than the total population of North America
- China will soon be the number one English-speaking country in the world
- In 2002, Nintendo spent $140,000,000 on research and development…
- The U.S. Government spent 1/2 that amount on research and innovation in education
- and many more

I think it’s wonderful that China, India and other countries are so technically focused. I just hope the youth of America can rise to the challenge and keep up, if not lead the technical advances of the future.
