Ever wonder how many people are actually in the world? Check out this site:
World Population Clock: 7 Billion People - Worldometers (http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/)
During the short time I was on it, the population growth increased by almost 300.....and I wasn't on it long.
Here are some interesting statistics:
A tremendous change occurred with the industrial revolution: whereas it had taken all of human history until around 1800 for world population to reach one billion, the second billion was achieved in only 130 years (1930), the third billion in less than 30 years (1959), the fourth billion in 15 years (1974), and the fifth billion in only 13 years (1987). During the 20th century alone, the population in the world has grown from 1.65 billion to 6 billion.
