Summary of “Profoundly upset by this video” posted by MeinGottInHimmel Nov 9, 2009

on http://shifthappens.wikispaces.com/ pertaining to "Did You Know 2.0?” found at http://youtu.be/pMcfrLYDm2U.

This user is disgusted by the “Did You Know” video and thinks it is “propaganda” and views training children in IT as connected with a loss of global dominance somehow. He also questions how IT training for kids will benefit them when Chinese and Indian people are willing to do the same IT jobs for much less money. This user also fails to see a connection between global power and wiki's in the classroom. He is disappointed that this video is so popular and that it points to selfish reasons for education in order to maintain the “disparities that Americans have enjoyed for so long through fear and xenophobia”.

This blog is part of an assignment from American Military University for my "Web 2.0 Fundamentals" class where I am to view then summarize 3 different discussions as they relate to the concepts presented in the video "Did You Know 2.0?" on the http://shifthappens.wikispaces.com/ page.
