Did you know?

Did you know 4.0 is a cool little video that gives you crazy facts about today's technology. Well, I guess I should say statistics, but either way it's pretty interesting to find out some of that stuff. It was put online on September 14th 2009. For example, Cisco's Nexus switch can move all of Wikipedia in .001 seconds. That's pretty freakin' fast. Anyway, the video's roughly 4 and half minutes and about every 5 seconds is a new stat.

This video is interesting to say the least. It's kinda crazy to see how technology is advancing so quickly and pretty much sticks to Moore's Law. One thing I noticed is how quickly information was packed onto each slide and how little time you have to read it. It's sort of an unintentional metaphor of how the internet and today's technology is. Or maybe that's exactly what they were going for.

I know you're are wondering, "hey Craig, why did you have to mention the date that it was uploaded to youtube?" Plain and simple, they need an updated version with current stats. Don't get me wrong, I know it takes a while to put a video like that together, not to mention go out and find all that information; but we're in 2011 and if the Mayans are correct that leaves 1 year to put out another cool video.
