		<description>What...evar...

* China will become the #1 english speaking country? And yet we push spanish more and more in our own borders..

* India&#039;s so called IQ gap does is not an apples to apples comparison. The span of experiences in US schools should account for something; weather they are positive or negative. India&#039;s school system focuses on academic achievement to the exclusion of all else. I don&#039;t think this breeds smarter kids, just narrow depth of field.

* top 10 in demand jobs in 2010? Oh COME ON!!! We had no idea what was going to happen in 2009 when in 2008 or 2007.. 2010 is a crap shoot! America could be flat broke by then. Also - in demand by whom? Employers or Employees.. I *WANT* a CEO Golden Parachute job -- does that make it in demand?

* How the felgerkarb can you train a student for jobs technologies that don&#039;t exist yet? Also -- I&#039;ve seen what kids are learning out of college.. The technologies are nearly a decade out of date in some cases. /fail

* It&#039;s not that suprising that Bermuda can penetrate internet everywhere, they are smaller than 98% of our states. The fact that we rate #19 should be a badge of honor.. The USA is HUGE.

* The part about college teaching outdated stuff kinda blows away one of the first points..

So as for what it all means...

Skynet will come online in 2049, and the human race will be oblitherated by 2050. 

Or... Cylons will conquer humanity by 2050ish.</description>
