Did You Know 2.0

[@CapsTheArbiter]

For anyone looking for the song, It's on KZbin with the title "Ambient grooves-13.clouds" You're welcome.

[@davidreagan1287]

Finally!

[@Brandencarroll1]

After 15 years of wondering, wow. Thank you

[@zepedy2]

this is one of the best vids on youtube at the moment! the music is well chosen and making the information in a simple and comic way makes kids actually want to read it

[@Brandencarroll1]

2022, The USA is still the world's largest English speaking country.

[@damianpodcast]

A great reminder of where were are going as we look at a new year. I also recommend DYK 3 and 4. This is a great introduction to so many presentations to start to frame any conversation about the future.

[@MrVpassenheim]

The China statistic about "having the most English speakers" by 2017. Talk about somebody REALLY miscalculating lol.

[@md.shihabsharar8753]

still funny in 2021

[@claudebrownjr883]

it is true now

[@dany2217]

It is true

[@DanSpengeman]

ANSWER TO MUSIC QUESTION: It seems to be an original mix. The audio file can be downloaded from their wiki website, referenced in the comments of the video/user. Look under Version 2.0 and the .AIFF file can be downloaded (130 MB high quality download) Hope that helps everyone who's looking for the tune.

[@mikedimimd]

First couple of min, are dramatically skewed. does not take into account the population of the respective countries (India, China). The reason English is widely spoken is because it is the language of money/influence/advancement. sounds shitty, but its true. Makes Americans look bad in my opinion- when they talk about graduation rates, and job changes. The main reason for that is because we are as free as we are, and we are not stuck in any kind of caste system. A nobody from nowhere with no education can become a millionaire or accomplish great things for humanity. That why people literally will risk their life to get here. Just some common facts left out of this did you know? video.

[@Spiny1990]

I believe that this video is absolutely amazing, I spent a majority of my High School career at a Charter school where we learned about things like this and I've even showed this video to different organizations as part of different presentations. It's amazing how we are so dependent on information, and I'd like to go back to my High School today and do this presentation again.

[@spleenbuster]

"kids who have never held a textbook will hold the world." that is one of the most powerful lines i have every seen. the amazing opportunities that lie in store are astounding.

[@karmieboo]

Truly inspirational video. "Kids who have never held a textbook, will now hold the world." I love that line. This is definitely going in my favourites.

[@Lukeff7]

This is such a lovely video. All the information tied in with that music is beautiful.

[@tamsenb]

THE MUSIC: The song on this version is a custom soundtrack made specifically for this video. You only way you can download it is by going to the "shifthappens" link in the description at the top-right on this KZbin page. Then click on "Various Versions and Source Files" on the left hand side of the page. You can find the downloadable audio file separately under "Source Files". I just downloaded it into iTunes and it works.

[@emmanuelballer]

Great video, and as an MBA student at top 5 B-School, very informative. Only question- what does Great Britain being a global super power in 1900 (0:47) have to do with life as we see it a century later? Please post same description of a country as of 2000- it'll have a much greater impact, and much more meaning! Thanks, and keep up the great work Explain Visual Thinking...

[@fernfractal]

@xplane: since the wiki is now dead, can you tell me when the og video was made?

[@pound9696]

Now that I am in my late forties and have been around the block enough times, I define success more broadly than is emphasized here. Being educated and making money is a much lesser part of my wholeness as a living, thriving being. What I have learned about my self and what ultimately brings me joy and peace is not taught in schools, churches or in the vast majority of homes in this culture.

[@MysticChibiTigerGirl]

Notice all of the 'Did you Know' videos speed up their pace as time goes on. I love these so much! I really love Earth and how all of this change and advancement is possible.. It's so... Amazing..

[@sjantle]

All of those amazing stats and everyone wants to identify the music...the universal language...love it and love the music!

[@behindmyclosedeyes]

The song is "Clouds" by Paul Reeves.

[@Deltie]

Yeah, gave me chills a few times, i saw an early version awhile ago. now the video has changed so much.... Wonderful, were learning about a similar concept in sociology.

[@nhibbs3]

click on the link in their description. Click on various versions and source files, and then it is under source files. it is 135 mb

[@Dagadugu]

This is seriously one of the most effective videos I've ever seen in my life and the information is just like "WOW!" I hope all the information won't be bad for the world

[@bigsisshan]

On the first day of school this year, my science teacher had us watch this video... I couldn't stop thinking about it for the rest of the day.

[@Edwards3Carrots]

Saw this in my school assembly - loved it ever since. It really makes you think, doesn't it?

[@MaybeWeAintUs]

I viewed this today in a professional development course (for teachers). Very enlightening! Would love to see the updated stats.

[@jlynn647]

Probably the only thing I remember about going to ITT Tech for Criminal Justice was watching this. Good music tho.

[@pound9696]

This presentation sounds like a very good cause directing attention to areas in education which can be greatly improved. Yet, the lessons that we need to learn the most are not even comprehended until we find that what was worked so hard for to achieve did not bring what we needed more than anything.

[@ymashalom]

This was a real eye-opener! I forwarded this to my district's administration. Yma Rosenthal

[@stradivari08]

I was informed by my brother to watch this.Yeah, do not underestimate the affection of technology to our life! How many people here have seen "Charlie the Unicorn" through the net? This video is so inspiring ,let's start thinking for our future!

[@neko90]

watched it in class and decided to watch it again..interesting..the colour n design is simple but effective..awesome =3

[@Keymaster2022]

i too saw this first in class...its amazing. I live in south Texas and i have normal conversations with my friend in Saltlake city Utah everyday through text messaging. 10 years ago people didn't do that,

[@BoltroBankai]

Watched this for the first time in my Computer Applications class, and it interested me. I like this version better than the newer one. Maybe it's just the look and the amazing music put with it, but still these are awesome.

[@MrSr1234]

I love this song. The message is very good as well, but this song is very relaxing.

[@NoahTruman]

i don't know the name or artist of this particular track but if i had to guess i'd say it's olafur arnolds. All his music is very similar to this, you'd like it

[@richardpcollins]

Excellent presentation, It is quite unbelievable how fast the world is changing at the moment, but also really exciting!

[@BinxyBrown]

I saw this in my CIS class the other day, amazing stuff, really.

[@EDunbarS]

So relevant this is great! Also, our education system is still based as it was in the 1800s during the industrial revolution. Back then, there were two types of people: Ones who had the mental skills to help develop new technology (back then mostly factories) and those who didn't. This is why there is one 'model student' we judge all students by. Hard to believe how much our world has changed and our education system HAS NOT. Thank you for the vid, favorited, 5/5.

[@abebabe1031]

where can i get this MP3??? i like the music... so uplifting with yet a litlle sad tone to it... and i like the SoundFX... its cool.

[@Horhew]

Very interesting video. What's the name of the song in the background? Is it an original composition made specifically for this video?

[@LNKArbiter]

This is some incredible stuff, truly a work of genius. Whatever sparked these men to create the original, I hope they continue doing it, we could use more people like them in the world, advocates for the educational system, and for the future generations.

[@Sumer61]

I like the music in this. The information is incredible!

[@3das]

Amazing job by Karl Fisch and Scott McLeod. I even like the soundtrack in this update. BTW, if you ever wanted to download it, this site has it in MP3 format: brianzajac(dot)com/2008/04/did-you-know-20-music-soundtrack(dot)htm

[@cgme600]

Really interesting. But Have you make an update of this material?

[@HabboLova1234]

thx 4 da info... This imformation is astonishing! What's the name of this song? It suits in perfect with this music video.

[@NemanjaSimovic]

God bless your America! :) You are example of freedom, and thank you for learning us, either easy or hard way. Your country is dream for everyone, and I mean everyone. Now you can have it and live it. ;) Regards from Serbia.

[@edisonoside]

Nature with all it's wondrous glory!... Man is not as awesome as he thinks... Our artificial side and our love for it never ceases to amaze me.

[@123norway]

The vid is awesome, but its the music that is truly beautiful and relaxing!

[@Monsuco]

Pardon me, but am I the only one who sees all of this as a positive thing. Society is advancing rapidly, and at the same time the rate of advancement is itself advancing rapidly. Society is creating new and wonderful things. I just had a surgery a few weeks ago. The procedure I had didn't exist a few years ago and required equipment that didn't exist until a few years before it. Every new child will experience advancments we cannot even imagine. Every new brain adds to our advancement. Marvelous

[@KhaledSelim]

those who made this video are super-smart what a way to introduce your information to the viewers WOW

[@CoventryUniversity]

this film is beautiful

[@LuNiTa1718]

don't take anything for granted, appreciate every single thing you have, no matter how small it is. We're living our lifes so fast and we don't notice that we are making so much damage to our selves as the universe. I think that we have to begin to ourselves and try to be more aware with our acts

[@CanwllCorfe615]

beautiful video, beautiful song, interesting facts, one of the best things ive seen on youtube

[@CaptainNemarco]

the music is so beautiful. anyone who knows what the song is called or where i can find it, please help. my appreciation could not be put into words.

[@tantanman2852]

wow i like the presentation in this one more:) the facts are even more incredible seeing it again!

[@njiakweli]

Great presentation. very entertaining and great play of text

[@tmcdon]

I really like this music. Would be nice if someone could post who/where it is from

[@Nesaaraa]

Good video. It was shown to us at college, just had to watch it again. :)

[@marchioof]

wow this video taught me a few things it helps me understand things that i don't know about in the other places that are going on right now.

[@sutra46]

A version of this video was first created as a presentation to teachers of an American school, that is why. I find nothing negative in it ( am not a US citizen and my first language is not English) its just to start a dialogue about the change in the world as it happens. :-)

[@MildInconvenience]

I have to agree with you on your last statement Rsiewell: education should be about learning, not training for a job/career. I distinctly remember being annoyed back in high school about people stressing the importance of grades and qualifications for the purposes of finding jobs. To me it made it seem as though it was more a case of "learn so that you can make more money" rather than "learn so that you can expand your knowledge" as it should be.

[@krs239]

I remember watching this video in 2008, and now 80% of my kids that I teach (in high school) are younger than it. Time flies.

[@NsaneNtheNbrane]

I love these "shift happens" videos. This one is giving me a spiritual vibe. It reminds me of the painting in the Sistine Chapel where the man is trying to reach out and touch God.

[@geopro13]

does someone know the music name of this video ? it's really beautiful. Thanks a lot.

[@pound9696]

"Success" has different definitions. I have been a CEO, owned several businesses, made six figure incomes and I would not define that as success, perhaps more of a handicap to development of lasting joy, as personal peace and inner consciousness have been more satisfying than all of my other endeavors.

[@lazerbud]

I love the music in this video! Can anyone tell me who this music is by?

[@charmed101fan]

I saw this video yesterday in class it was very good. Even though we did not get to see the entire thing it was very intersting, 5 stars every time i see it.

[@8lilchan8]

thats true! e-learning is great, but having a presential teaching, meaning that students can have personal contact with the teacher is really important for an apropiate learning, it can't be all virtual... but or course it helps to integrate the use of technologies and great resourses for teaching :)

[@jeahlaguardia]

I am an ordinary Mass Communication student and my professor asked me to explain this in class. I find it very interesting yet complex to discuss. Hope I can execute the task successfully.

[@123norway]

The music is fantastic!

[@MyPaperBleedsInk]

We watched it in my Pre-Engineering class yesterday. It's really interesting.

[@Enes-bp6nu]

it is 2021 now! how old this video is!

[@cartmanandkylefan]

I watched this in class today. I love it.

[@crazydudetz]

so does the amount of technical information double every 72 hours now that we are in 2010?

[@yolopassion]

What is the meaning of line "And while predictions further out than 15 years are hard to do " ?

[@baebameows]

I just wanna know what the theme song is called. the video is rather astounding in some aspects though. My world civ teacher showed it to my class the other day

[@JL_hahaha0303]

the background sound is great, kind of mysterious, bit of spooky, attract you to keep watching. oh yea so as the graphics ^ ^

[@mnsicer]

Still love this music

[@eskimo810]

@KryptonKyote isnt it two children? meaning the 2 kids are replacing the two parents?

[@dandandamattressman]

i play this video while im studying just for the music....turns me into a study train that is unstoppable

[@Anzallos]

Saw a video of this series for the first time in my Intro Engineering course. WAS EPIC

[@lex91793]

I saw this in school today, and I thought it was incredible. Myspace would be the 5th largest country if it were one!

[@NicoArgentinaBarca]

They should definitely make a sequel, or another updated version

[@acdcsrs]

whats funny is that my school district has held the same exact mission statement for over 20 years, yea 1989... its "we are here to give your child the knowledge he/she will need to succeed in the future"

[@wildman473]

i love this music and its so interesting and it actually really grips u and puts u in a position to say..."wow"

[@Solsolss]

wow, loved it.what's the song called??

[@crackerkiller89]

Amazing video. Excellent job.

[@mzn1975]

@hoshinamino ...it is ...does anyone know the name of this track????? and by whom??? thanks

[@cpypcy]

Awesome! I have no words.

[@Shivaumma]

OK. It's all about what Charles Leadbeater said:"In the past you were what you owned...Now you are what you share". That's the nowadays world but we will survive. Namaste friend!

[@polkapiggy]

I find it amazing how when i asked my head teacher for her email she said she didn't have one but when i asked a new teaching assistant for hers she gave me a selection of four.

[@SoccerBoi500]

Wow.....That really makes you reflect on stuff.

[@avant_garbage]

love this, whats the music for it?

[@keliesurfer]

does anyone know the name of this song? I play it over and over just for the music

[@alvarosave]

thx for telling me because I needed an answer, now it all makes sense.

[@seemakaulgupta]

Where are we going in such a rush ???

[@nawdew]

Technology gridlock.

[@Latinlove17]

I like this song...I wonder where i can get it?

[@BriceJF]

@damiantamu English is a required second language in many countries for colleges and even high schools. Here in Germany everyone has to take between 4-5 years of English in high school, if I remember what I've heard correctly. Of course, I'm sure you could just google the information to check it yourself. :)

[@kotapaka]

I don't get the technical information thing - do they mean information in technical i.e. electronic form or physics, maths, engineering information?

[@MokshJuneja]

it is fascinating to watch the numbers... info doubling in 72 hrs ...

[@WillProtoss]

Just Purely....AWESOME...

[@win2rgirl]

WOW!...THIS WAS RALLY INTERESTING!
