"Did you know....Shift Happens?"

"Shift Happens" presents a mind-boggling collection of numbers and facts on the information age. I am surprised to find out how fast, far, and wide technology is moving, or exploding, even. It really makes me wonder what will happen to the human race when the capabilities of the mentioned technology surpass human capabilities to process information. Are we in danger? Will robots take over? I am doubtful. We are capable of adapting to so many new things, and have been doing so for thousands of years (i.e. fire, the wheel, electricity, oil, computers, fiber optics). Although somewhat frightening, our exponentially growing civilization is becoming more and more tightly woven. Cultures are coming together in amazing ways, making the near impossible possible.
