Did you know China will soon become the number one English speaking country in the world?  Did you know the top 10 in-demand jobs in 2010 did not exist in 2004?  Did you know 1 in 4 workers has been with their current employer for less than a year?  Did you know if MySpace were a country, it would be the 5th largest in the world?  Did you know there are 31 billion searches on Google every month (up from 2.7 billion two years ago)?  Did you know more unique information will be generated this year than in the past 5,000 years?  Did you know the amount of new technical information is doubling every 2 years?  Did you know NTT Japan has successfully tested a fiber optic cable that pushes 14 trillion bits per second down a single strand of fibre?  Did you know that's 2,660 CDs or 210 million phone calls every second?  Did you know it's currently tripling every 6 months and is expected to do so for the next 20 years?  Did you know this presentation has been seen by more than 10 million people since it was posted online?  Did you know you could be next?
