eSN TechWatch: Two Million Minutes -- February 18, 2008

thats my birthday:-)

ummm. its not the kids.... colombia. my native country only goes till 11th grade. im a sophmore. math in my grade is geometry or algebra 2, in colombia in sophmore grade their already doing trigonometry as a standard class. us education system is by far not the best in any way.

Just goes to show how lazy and self gratifying on average our kids are today. Do all of yourselves a favor, turn 0ff the reality shows and Jon Stewart and hit the books.

Americans started it, Indians will take over and continue.

There is a major problem with this video's assumption that schooling in the US is broke, while students in India and China are much more advanced. First of all, not ALL children in those two countries are in the education system. So, take just the top 90% of kids and you automatically have an "improved average." Here, we educate EVERYONE, at least in the public schools.

passwordthisasspart2, one thing I'd like to add to your list there is the fact that the US doesn't take prisoners' organs as China does.

only 4,528 views at the minute for this video , it's clear that Americans are more interested in watching britney's videos , they all have million views. Little by little the asians are overtaking the lead in the global economy. Just take a look, general motors and ford are in shambles and TOYOTA is the largest car manufacturer on earth

Compton has "rounded down" the 4 year minute total from 2,102,400 to 2,000,000.

That is 71 days.

Parents, think about the meaning of the loss of 71 days of your child's life.

Compton's core idea is a fiction maintained through unethical accounting.

He cares more about a film concept than reality.

71 days can be the time you would spend sleeping :P

71 days.

That is 4.86 percent of the total of 1,460 days in (4 calendar years).

Since Compton doesn't think this is a significant number (It has been "rounded down"), he should donate this percentage of his 2008 portfolio profits to public education initiatives.
