The video “2020 Vision” matters to me because I am a student, to education because the way education is handled is changing, and to the world because of new business landscapes.  This video was about what Karl Fisch thinks the year 2020 will be like, specifically to education and the world.  Since I am a student, some of the changes the Karl Fisch predicts would have an effect on me.  For example, one thing that was stated in the video was that they would “do away the grades and transcripts all together, moving to a learning exhibition system, routed in the students’ electronic portfolios”.  This is significant because this would change the way my performance would be tracked throughout school.  Another thing that Mr. Fisch predicted was the development of “GoogleCam” which would record a classroom session and upload it onto the internet.  This would be a great help for education in general because if a student misses a day, he or she would be able to find it on the web.  In “2020 Vision” it talked about many new business landscapes, including Google buying Apple.  This would be profound because both of these companies are huge, meaning big changes globally.
