at the end of this video, the big Allstate guy should show up and say, "Are you in good hands?"

oxmickiexo, Look carefully at the part that asks what was the most powerful country...in 1900....England)....and only 100-years ago! It means 'things are CHANGING...big time!

You're right to expect that. In fact a professor from the University of Toronto specializes in artificial neural networks where computers "learn" how to solve problems; the technology is in the post office to "read" your handwriting. It's based on signal processing theory. Psychiatrists today don't know how the brain operates, let alone create mathematical models for it, that still have the contradiction problem. Nothing's impossible. I think we have a long way to go.

Ahhhhhhh *runs outside screaming naked*

"shift happens" refers, I believe, to how the world is changing or "shifting".

thats true, but i still think people could pul it off somehow, artificial personality or something

I found it very refreshing and insightful. It really opens your eyes to current issues of globalization. Some comments seem to simplistic, particularly the one about computers, that are based on math. Computers cannot be humans as, humans have contradictions: the one you love the most may be who you hate the most. Math is either true or false. Computers are great for mathematical tasks but cannot do what humans do. An analogy comparing computer processing with humans is misleading.

If true, absolutely terrifying and exhilarating at the same time.

HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP What does it mean in the beginning? The people are just like you, do they look like you or what. Help Me Please!

I think it's a pun of the phrase "shit happens". The "shift" they are referring to is the massive way our world and our technologies are changing and at such a massively quick rate.

what do they mean by SHIFT HAPPENS?? im confused.

Gullible is not in the dictionary. We're becoming obsolete, no new thing. Shift happens.

last of the mohicans song rules ^^

awesome song

you're a disgrace as a Canadian

Who put all of this together-- and has anyone verified any of this ??

Almost any of them...

Do you know how racist that is?

my computer has a calculator it already exceeds my brain.

I knew that this sort of thing were to happen but not to that scale!

we will all be gay in the future

Sources/references for any of this would be nice tbh.

You can see the downshift of brainpower in most of the answers below... Flouride really does work in the brains of children < 6 years...

computational power, not thinking power.

BBBBBBBBBBBBBOMMMMMMMMMMMBBBBB BBBBBBBBBBB the CHINKERS! and the indians thery plauging our planet like an infestive disease. If we dont act fast in the extermination the consequences will be horrific .
