Did anybody say that he should speek just English? English isn't my mother's tongue and in everyday life I speak Polish but it's very useful to know some foreign languages too. Hablo tambi
én español et je parle francais And I think that is not affecting my Polish at all.

it's only useful to ... ( 2 months ago by intrepgun)

it's only useful to know english if useful information is being conveyed in english and not some other language that you may know. and as much as english is a very simple language (only 28 letters in the alphabet, etc etc) it's also very limited. and there are constant little fixes made all the time. it would be better to learn a more complete, more widely used language as opposed to english. that's how i feel about it. and english is my mother tongue. i added german, dutch, spanish, french

What a wonderful ... ( 1 month ago by doriansu)

What a wonderful lecture! In today's connected world it's inconceivable to me so much information would be hidden, be it on some servers or in old dusty books. We need to liberate the data, but on the other hand, tools that can sift through it all and help us make sense of it are essential. I commend prof. Rosling on his vigor and enthusiasm for taking on some of the biggest challenges of our time.

Replay the 18:05 mark. It's interesting how wealth distribution in the U.S. has changed. Wealth among the poorest has remained stagnant while the wealth of the middle class has grown a bit and the wealthiest has begun to break away. I don't blame an unjust society for this, lots of folks are starting families before acquiring marketable skills while the rest generally choose to only have kids they are likely to afford.

unfortunately language has actually DEVOLVED since histories earliest records of written language. languages are computational systems. and we're all born with the same capabilities to learn incredibly complex languages. but instead language has been dumbed down. check out some of noam chomsky's talks on linguistics and genetic predisposition for language either here on youtube or through p2p torrent sites. his books are very enlightening.
