Today in class we reviewed a video called Did You Know 2016. Im am going to talk about three facts in the video. The first one I found interesting was that 10 million self-driving cars will be on the road by 2020. Personally I really dislike this, and I can really see this happening. I have seen a lot of prototype self-driving cars on the internet from companies like Mercedes to Google. The reason why I really dislike this is because I think it will take all the fun out of driving cars. When I am 16 I am really looking forward to driving a car by myself. Now it did say only 10 million and with that many vehicles. I'm sure the cars are going to be pricy. However It will be a lot safer. Tesla makes cars that turn and drive by themselves on the freeway. I also think they parallel park by themselves. Another thing that I saw in the video was that 1 out of 6 couples met online. I find this really weird.
I personally think dating sites are stupid, especially for young people. They don't get to know each other enough and sometimes it can be dangerous. It also extremely easy to just make a fake account and fool people. I guess I can understand older people using the sites because they don't have as much interaction with other people. Younger people go to school all the time and can get to know people for up to 4 years. You could also meet people on Instagram and Facebook from mutual friends and other things like that. This is a lot better than using dating sites because it is safer because your friends trust that person. This way is a lot more used by younger people. I know someone that lives in Santa Monica that has a girlfriend in New York City, and he is my age. Bach then there was no way this could happen. The world has changed a whole lot.
The last fact that interested me was something that I actually really like. It is the fact that 54+ million hours of music are streamed on Spotify every day. Personally I use Spotify every day around the end of the day. My sister has a record player in her room. If I had do that everyday I would dislike music. The fact that I can just press a button and hundreds of songs can play for hours is amazing. The one vinyl that my sister had is 10x bigger than my phone. The tiny mp3s are even smaller. You can also have as many songs as you want as long as the storage is capable of doing so. But with Spotify you don't have to download any songs because it is done online. Although you can save a playlist to your device for long trips in the car. That was the three facts that I thought was interesting.
