Finchbowl/Did you know




For some reason I thought the movie was going to be some silly cartoon. Was I totally wrong. I could not take my eyes off the screen. Finchbowl/Did you know was totally awesome. The simple graphics were very powerful. In today's society, the "computer" has become as common and important as the automobile. A computer is more of a necessity rather than a luxury. As important, if not more, is the use of the computer to access the "World Wide Web" commonly known as the web, which "is a system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the internet."
The movie was very informative in that it offered facts, figures and statistics on topics such as education, labor, language and the "internet". The movie often refers to ratios in contrast with the United States, China and India. My perception of the movie was that the main point they were emphasizing, was the importance of telecommunication is in via the internet, via the computer. The learning possibilities are not even imaginable. Sharing and receiving information in any known subject, whether large or small, academic or pleasurable from anywhere around the world, at any given time, from any given location is phenomenal. If kids (especially in poor countries) had access to computers, as those in the United States and China do, think of the empowerment they would receive with the enrichment that would come along with the knowledge and resources they would have available. I would recommend that any and everyone watch this movie.
