I personally really enjoyed the video. I wholly believe in what Albert Einstein said, "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." I think this is the cause of so many of our problems we face today. We strive to constantly out do what was before yet, cannot seem to fix the problems we created by expanding. For example, building new homes to house families yet, we are having problems supplying the energy to these homes.

The ideas we seem to come up with such as the wind machines, these are helping our ecosystem problems, but would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to build some that would only supply a small neighborhood. In order to do this we would have to clear lands and cut down trees. The more we try to push forward the deeper we sink. In the video I picked up on the message that maybe we are becoming to distracted by the technology we have created and are letting our knowledge intake fall dramatically. When it showed the statistics of the YouTube videos, MySpace, and Google, the numbers were on steep uphill drives.
