Population Growing By The Moment

Population Growing By The Moment In the article, Shift Happens Statistics of the Day 2-11-08, Mr. Fisch talk about statistics around the world and how great the number of people in this world are rising. He mentions that the population will increase to 438 million people in 2050, up from 296 million in 2005. This amazes me. But then again in his powerpoint it says some pretty amazing things that I never would expect to happen. So this all goes along with the saying "anything is possible". he also metions that the Latino population will triple in size, so it will go up to 29% compared to 19% now. Also, the elerly age will grow double it size, and job shortage will increase slowly. All of this makes me wonder if the world will ever slowly end up in another great depression. Although it is likely, I don't believe this will happen (knock on wood). I am hoping that the future president and the future people of the United States will help wit this, and will do their best to keep the world a happy depression-free country. All in all this helped my mind think outside the box of school and living my life. It helped me go outside and explore the world around us, and what is really happening.
