Population

Today we did homework while we waited for David to finish making up the test. After he turned it in we started a powerpoint on Population and Settlement. We learned that there are over 7.6 billion people on the world right now. 90% of that increasing population takes place in developing countries like Africa, South and East Asia, and Latin America. We watched a population clock for a little bit. Every 8 seconds a new person was born in the United States and every 11 seconds someone died. The first year the world got to 1 billion people in population was 1804. 124 years later we made it to 2 billion. Then, in 33 years we reached 3 billion. The world is the most populated today than it's ever been. Population is kind of interesting so far. I can't wait to see what we'll learn about next class.
