What does it mean?

I was rather concerned by this video. As an American I was a bit worried by the news that other parts of the world are smarter and more prepared than us as a nation. I think that the government should watch this video and do something about the dire situation our country is facing if we continue to go down the road we are on. This information, coupled with the fact that we are being grossly out populated with countries like India and China makes me think we need to do something. Not necessarily an increase in population, but using the population we have to its full potential through education.
I was deeply troubled by the news that a supercomputer will be built in 2013 that will exceed the human brain in computational skills. In case this happens, I am personally preparing myself for a Terminator uprising. All jokes aside though, the news that new technology is advancing at such a rapid rate is quite troubling. If we continue to , better technology and network each other together, the human species will no longer be a necessary part of the planet and will cease to be. Technology will do all the thinking and work for us, and we will be replaced in the world by machines. The basic fact is that new and better technology is replacing hard work and skills that humans have depended on for millennia. For example, in the old days people would have to walk half a mile to the river, get water, chop down a tree, build a fire and heat the water for an hour just to take a bath. Now people get mad when the water pressure turns down in the shower. People are becoming lazy and relying more and more on machines to do their jobs for them. I'm not saying that all technology is bad, I'm just saying that people need to be able to work for things so that they can appreciate them when they get them. Hard work is the key to success in any endeavor, and people need to realize this.
So basically what i got out of this video is that unless we drop our dependence on technology and become more intelligent and educated as a nation, we are not looking at a very bright future.
