Did You Know Post!

In the video when it talked about how long it took for 50 million peole to get radio, television, ipod, and facebook creeped me out kinda because it only took 2 years for facebook to get 50 million people!!! That's a lot of people.  Technology has come so far in so little time and if you don't be careful you could get wrapped up in all the technolody.
