Globalization Statistics – Slide Show
Did you know… that:
- The 25% of the population in China with the highest IQs is greater than the total population of North America.
- China will soon become the number one English-speaking country in the world.
- In 2002 Nintendo invested more than $140 million in research and development. The U.S. Federal Government spent less than half as much on Research and Innovation in Education.
- There are over 2.7 billion searches performed on Google each month. To whom were these questions addressed before Google?
- Predictions are that by 2013 a supercomputer will be built that exceeds the computation capability of the human brain.
These are just a few of the many amazing facts that I did not know yesterday. Have a look at the slide show below; you’ll be surprised!
“This is a stylization of a slide show originally created by Karl Fisch, examining globalization and America’s future in the 21st century. It is designed to stand alone, without having to be presented in person. Enjoy!”
For a great read on globalization, check out Thomas L. Friedman’s “The World is Flat“.
