Shift Happens
India has more honor kids, than America has kids.
We are preparing kids for jobs, using technologies that haven't been invented, in order to solve problems we don't even know about yet!
If myspace was a country it would be the 5th biggest.
The number of google searches that has increased since 2006.
The text message one was CRAZY!
During the course of me watching this presentation, 67 babies were born in the US... wow.
Even though this video was mind blowing, it freaked me out a little bitt. I don't like thinking about things like that, its un-real to me, and its hard to comprehend. They did a great job of designing the video, and how they displayed all the information.

Creativity is being strangled
This week’s video is an insightful talk by copyright authority Larry Lessig about the creativity blossoming from access to content on the internet, and the conflict with copyright law which hasn’t caught up this new form of creativity - and the implications.
I found this interesting comment on a Blog talking about the speech.
"creativity is being strangled by the law Technology offers the opportunity to revive the old read/write culture. It is amateur but not amateurish culture. Remix --it's not piracy --its re creating to make something different. This is a literacy for this generation Copyright law has not responded with common sense as it had to do in the past when technology changes challenged established law—e.g. over the issue of the ‘trespass’ of airplanes over land k e n c h a d consulti Artists can choose the kind of re-use their work enables. That is what Creative Commons is about We live life against the law in a new age of prohibitions --this is dangerous.

Type in the sky was really interesting.
It's amazing how people think up all these different concepts of how type forms. I never thought that you could look up in the sky and the way buildings are placed could make letters in the sky.
The Lettering in Brooklyn are super interesting also, the fact that all those typography ideas came from brooklyn is amazing.

Debbie Millman
Debbie Millman is not only a genious when it comes to disscusing graphic design and how it made itself into our culture, but she also has a comical comedian side to her. She has been in the design business for more than half of her life. She is a partner in Sterling Brands, and has her own radio show where she has many famous artist come and share their stories. She has ceveloped many designs for many different products that we would see in any store. She has her own website.. debbiemillman.com, and is writting two books at the moment. In Design Matters she does a great job of explaining to people how the best way is to get to point A to point B. And she talks to a few different people about where they are in their design experience, but Patrick Coyne is being asked questions by callers that can call in and ask him, which I think is awesome!!!

John Maeda
I found John Maedas short video veryyy interesting.
Not to mention that his sense of humour kept my attention the whole time, but after watching that video it makes me really really want to read the book. I mean I looked over the link and skimmed through it, but I really want to sit down and read it. I loveddd just his whole concept on life, specially the part about how the letters M I T are in the same sequence in both Complexity and Simplicity. So smart.
My favorite part has to be when he was talking about tofu and then he talks about how he grew up around making it, its probably what inspired him to design that building. I thought that was hilarious.
