To get some perspective on how much has changed in a relatively short period of time, check out the following video. Among the statistics mentioned are:
- In 2006, there were 1.3 million college grads in the US, 3.1 million in India and 3.3 million in China; 100% of the Indian graduates speak English and, it is predicted, that in 10 years, China will be the largest English-speaking country in the world.
- The US Dept. of Labor estimates that today’s learners will have 10-14 different jobs… by their 38th birthday.
- 1 out of 8 couples married in the US in 2005 met online.
As technology becomes increasingly interwoven into every aspect of daily life, means of connecting with anyone, anywhere grows at an exponential rate; one stat says that 230,000 people sign up for MySpace everyday.
