Did You Know?

This morning I came across a rather well-produced video that considers the changes that have occurred in the past few centuries regarding the growth of the number of words in the English language. It presents statistics regarding technological advances and population growth. Changing careers, economics, education, and more are packed into about a minute that leaves one drop-jawed with wonder, if not also dizzy with vertigo. The video is entitled Did You Know? and ends asking the viewer "So What Does It All Mean?"

Check out the video. What does this mean to education? Should we not be changing the way we educate in a way that relates to the world around us?
