Some interesting facts from the video: 1. The largest English-speaking country in the world will soon be----China. 2. 50% of what a college freshman student in computer science learns will be obsolete by the time she is a junior. 3. 1 out of every 8 marriages today involve a couple who met online. 4. More text messages are distributed every day than the number of humans on earth.
