Wow! To be honest, I expected that video to be much more, for lack of a better word, "scientific", and much less interesting. Instead, I was left shocked and amazed by all the things going on in the world that I've been completely unaware of! Seriously, I got goosebumps while watching it. I can't tell if the video made me feel insignificant or inspired...maybe a combination of the two. I had no idea that so many discoveries have been made in the past year alone!
In a way, the video made me feel optimistic, because it seems that the human race's knowledge base is exponentially expanding, which will hopefully lead to further innovation and improvement. On the other hand, some of the statistics really worried me. The one that sticks out most in my head was something like "1 out of 8 couples married in the U.S. last year met online." Is that where our society is heading? Is my generation going to depend on the internet to connect to other people, rather than going out into the world and having face-to-face interaction?
Regardless of the concerns the video raised, I think the topics covered were things that we can all relate to and extract meaning from. Whether it inspired you, astounded you, or scared you to death, I'm willing to bet every single viewer was moved by that video.
