The Video

Today in class we watched a video with different facts about how our lives are. Mr.Schick wants us to choose 3 facts and write about them.

Fact 1: If you are one in a million in China, there are 1,300 people just like you.

Initial Reaction: Initially I was a little bit upset because I've always considered myself a completely unique person. The thought that there could possibly be someone like me makes me mad.

My personal life: I don't really know how this has to do with my personal life, it just makes me feel not so unique.

Fact 2: The top 10 in demand jobs in 2010, did not exist in 2004.

Initial Reaction: Honestly, I wasn't so surprised when I heard this fact. Technology advances so quickly, jobs come and go. 

My personal life: Again, this doesn't really effect me because I do not wish to do anything that involves using extensive amounts of technology.

Fact 3: We are currently preparing students for jobs that don't exist yet using technologies that haven't been invented in order to solve problems that we don't even know are problems yet.

Initial Reaction: I was not baffled by this, but in the same breath, I was intrigued by this fact.

My personal life: This makes me wonder if I should even pay attention in school because who knows if what I'm studying for will even become a problem at all.

Technology in my life: While technology does make everything easier and allows me to pass time, it does not really control my life. I can go for months without checking any social media things because I feel like most of the time it just contains drama. I am an outdoorsman, I like to hunt, fish, ride dirtbikes and fourwheelers, and have bonfires - none of which require technology. I believe technology will one day cease to exist and I will be one of the few who can survive without google.
