We often don't think about the passing time. Sometimes, when we talk with our friends we argue which event happened earlier, or we realize that our memories of shared experiences, for example from high school stories, are flawed.
The same goes with our perception of the timing of historical events. Let's watch this interesting video from a great educational channel called "Kurzgesagt" - it will help us organize our picture of past events and distances between them.
Questions:
1. Do you feel that your high school years happened years ago or do you feel like it was yesterday?
2. Do you think that the internet was a good invention - does it speed up our development or does it make us waste too much of our time?
3. Did any of the information from the video surprise you in any way?

For certain I think that Internet was a good invention. Because of world wide web, it became much easier and faster to look up for information and learn new things. Thanks to the internet we have access to various online courses that can significantly boost and speed up the process of learning.
I would not say that I've learned something new after watching this video.
Of course, internet was a good invention. There are innumerous advantages of this invention and I don’t want to write it down. If you don’t know how to manage your time you will most probably waste it even without internet.
I can’t say that this information was new for me. I have heard all these facts for lots of time but this video presented them all in a more pleasant way for my eyes.
2. The Internet is a super invention! Although sometimes it seems to me that I would like to live in the early 20th century, just for the sake of experiment. Of course, the Internet accelerates the development, modern children already at a young age can use the technology and the Internet without problems. The Internet provides millions of opportunities for the training and development of society. The older generation is not all can appreciate these opportunities and I'm sorry that this is so.
3. I guess I learned some new information, but I learned all the information in the school from the lessons of geography, biology, history. Probably only it would be very interesting for me to get into the future. At least 200 years ahead, but there is only the opportunity to live in the present and come up with either a time machine or how to make people immortal)
Internet is for sure the greatest invention of our time. So much cool things we have today wouldn't be possible if not for the internet.
It really depends on the day I have. When it is dull and slow, I think that I've finished high school few weeks ago, but when it is full of events and rapid, I don't even think about such far away in time milestones like high school.
2. Do you think that the internet was a good invention - does it speed up our development or does it make us waste too much of our time?
I think it is a one of the best and biggest inventions of all time. It is totally up to you how you use it. Some use it as a tool to speed some things up or acquire some knowledge and some can waste their time all day long.
3. Did any of the information from the video surprise you in any way?
I was familiar with the video before, so unsurprisingly I wasn't surprised watching same stuff again.
Of course the Internet was a good invention. It’s a endless knowledge depository. For sure it did speed up our development.
I've seen this video before, so I wasn’t surprised watching it again ;).
I think that the internet is an invention that speeds up the development of many things which could someday become necessary to our survival as a human race. As it was mentioned in the video, our home planet isn't likely to be habitable forever and we have to find some other ways of surviving. As it comes to my own life, I think that it's excellent since it helps me in my everyday life as well as gives me something to work on. That's connected to what I do for my living, after all.
I don't think that anything in the video has surprised me since I've already put my interest into the topic of universe a long time ago. Once again, I really recommend to watch "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey" conducted by the famous astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.
I think that internet was a good invention, just some people(me as well) don't know how to use it properly. So it may speed our development up or waste time depending on how we use it.
Not that much)
Some memories from high school feel like years ago (which is true) and some feel like it was yesterday.
2. Do you think that the internet was a good invention - does it speed up our development or does it make us waste too much of our time?
Both. It accelerated invention progress, especially in IT, but it made much more timewasters available on demand. But it made much more workplaces as well.
3. Did any of the information from the video surprise you in any way?
No, but there wasn't the fun fact about Cleopatra - she lived closer to the Moon landing than building Great Pyramids.
It depends on my mood, I guess. Sometimes I feel like it was gazillions years ago and sometimes I feel back in the shoes of a high school student, remembering all the fun stuff that I did during that time.
2. Do you think that the internet was a good invention - does it speed up our development or does it make us waste too much of our time?
More and more often I realize that it is more of a time consumer than a great invention. It offers too many ways to kill time for to be able to resist it and focus on the blessing it has brought. But I guess things like that happen with all great powers and invention - if you don't know how to use it properly - it corrupts you.
3. Did any of the information from the video surprise you in any way?
It surprised me that it was further away in the timeline from the Romans to the Ancient Egyptians than to us.
I feel like was years ago maybe because I was in the different city then. And maybe that was really many years ago.
Do you think that the internet was a good invention - does it speed up our development or does it make us waste too much of our time?
The internet is the greatest invention of all time in my opinion. It increased speed of development because years before people wait for letter from other country months, right now there are seconds.
Did any of the information from the video surprise you in any way?
Yes a lot of, mostly that about time relativity between some events. I never think about history in that way.
If it comes about internet i think that it's good invention. It help us make thing faster. Development is good for humans. Of course, always we can find people who are wasting time. But also we can say that wasting time is a relative concept.
I don't think that this video suprised me or give me new information but it was worth to see.
Internet, like most of new inventions, can be used in good or bad way, it is all up to you.
I love this series of videos and after watching every one I am very surprised.
I think that internet was the biggest game changer in history, it gave people free access to any information, it helped communicate quicker. It only waste our time when we decide to waste our time.
I can’t really say that informations conteined in this video was new for me. I know these facts, but this video presented them in non traditional way, good job ;)
Of course it is a good invention. I can find everything on the internet. It depends on who uses the internet, because we can also be on facebook for a whole day.
Anything information not surprised me. However, the movie itself looked very nice to me.
Like it was yesterday.
2. Do you think that the internet was a good invention - does it speed up our development or does it make us waste too much of our time?
Its part a waste of time and part good information transfer.
3. Did any of the information from the video surprise you in any way?
I’m not suprised but it’s a good interesting video
I think that the Internet was a good invention and it speed up our development. Of course it can be also use against another people but it is very similar to inventions like a dynamite or a nuclear energy.
I feel like it was yesterday, but actually a lot of time passed. I miss those years, but I am also happy with my life right now.
2. Do you think that the internet was a good invention - does it speed up our development or does it make us waste too much of our time?
I think it was great. It thought me a lot of things, which normally I wouldn't know. Internet is a very good thing when you know how to use it.
3. Did any of the information from the video surprise you in any way?
No, but it was a very good video
