Did you Know?

Today in class, we had a big problem with the blogs. When Mr. Schick told us to open our blogs, almost every-bodies said that it was under review for being a potential span threat. I was surprised because it was working fine the previous night. We spent about 1/3 of class time trying to fix the problem. Eventually Mr. Schick told us to deal with it and to access our blogs from his. We continued to review the answers to our homework from Tuesday, and dealt with topics like Gross Domestic Product (or GDP), the Net Migration Rate (or NMR), and the population of various countries. With the last 5 minutes of  class left, we also watched a video that showed interesting facts about today's society. I thought the 2 most interesting facts of the video were: "The 25% of India's population with the highest IQ's... is greater than the total population of the United States. Translation: India has more honers kids than America HAS kids." And, "There are about 600 tweets per second on Twitter." It is really amazing to see how much we have accomplished in the in the last 2000 years. It makes you think what will the future be like.
