The videos below were shown in my Sociology class yesterday and I was instantly awestruck at the statistics fed to me.
Force yourself to watch from beginning to end and embed the information in your heads because that is the reality of the 21st century pleading its case.
Also, permission to be wide-eyed for the next allotted minutes? Granted.

PS. The new layout entails the benefits of lesser distractions from the main content I wish to emphasize, and a more "artistic" aura due to the fact that the pencil x mic feature on a blog is just pure genius. Yay!
Alright, off to bed I go at quarter to 11pm in attempt to fix my super fucked up sleeping pattern. Good night and have yourselves a sweet rest of the week =]

Vid 1: almost made me cry, wtheck!? Just so freaking AHHHHH unbelievable. The slopes of those graphs are insane, yet disproportionate to the fact that population growth is going to steadily level off as death rates exceed birth rates (geo!) - freaky, huh? Also made me think about my kids, and if the digital world will really exceed their humanly-capable knowledge, possibly causing HELLA dependence on the digital world? I wish this wasn't the case, but it probably will be from the looks of it!
Vid 2: equally unbelievable and freaky. The ending is what I hope to be the root of my future family w/ a limited reliance on the internet! (Again, looks like this won't be the case... but we can always choose what we consume for sure!)
THANK YOU for def making me wide-eyed/brained/hearted almost!
This content definitely reminds me of my English book/novel/thing - not sure how to define it, cuz it's a collection of short stories with an essay as subtext, all of which are interconnected =/
