The Fischbowl Power Point

I thought the Fischbowl power point presentation was very informative. It told many interesting facts that are designed to make viewers reexamine today's education. It used many examples that made me question whether today's children are being prepared for what the future holds. It also points out that America is not exactly what it may seem. We have always been taught that America is the most powerful and educated country in the world, but according to this presentation that is an untrue statement.

There were many examples used in the presentation that jumped out at me such as the slide that said if Myspace were a country it would be the eighth largest in the world. There was a slide that also stated that most countries speak English as their second language. I felt that it was trying to say that America is the only country where most people do not speak a second language. It expressed that China will soon speak more English than America. It states that the U.S. has less college graduates that other countries. I thought this powerpoint would be something that could be shown at schools across America to give educators the incentive to work harder and take America's "future" more seriously.
