Michivelli- Is it better feared than loved, or loved than feared?

2. As a leader: I would rather be feared because then you will be respected. People would not try to suggest things they know I disagree with. If I was a leader and feared then the people would obey laws more often.

Technology Video
In the video we learned that technology is becoming a major factor in our lives and the later generations. We learned that the average teenager sends over 2,000 texts a month, or that 250 million people have visited facebook this month. We learned that twitter is now playing roles in presidnetial elections elsewhere in the world. We are now learning about jobs that don't even exist yet, and that China has the highest IQ in the world. that todays 21 year old's have watched 20,000 hours of tv, and talked for over 10,000 hours on the phone. This month, there were over 2.7 billion searches on google. Itis a fact that 1 and 5 teachers use technology in their everyday teaching. It is believed that in the next few years China will be the number one speaking English country in the world. It is amazing how every 1 and 8 couples that are married met online. The frist text messege was sent in 1992, now there are more than 1 million texts sent every month. During the video, 395 babies were born in India, and only 69 in the U.S.
