Homework-Did you know?

Did you know it only took facebook 2 years to get 50,000,000 users when it took the radio 38 years to reach that much! This shows me that technology keeps getting better and better as the years go on and by the time i have kids you'll never know what they'll have or how fast everyone will be able to use one. I also think that fact is pretty cool because everyone i know uses facebook but i had no idea that many people used facebook. Next, there are 540,000 words in the english language thats 5 times more then Shakespeer had in his time. I think this is  very interesting fact becasue common words were used to hearing like car, computer, bagel bites ect. the people in his time would not even know what those things are.

I love soccer and the beach!
