What's Your Number Reflection?

   Whats Your Number?

     Some things I learned in class today where that back in the 1600's there were 1 billion people in the world. Then once it hit 1900's through the 2,000 that's when population grew. Now there is currently 7 billion people and counting living on earth. Another thing that I learned was that women live longer than men. Women can live up to the age of 80 while men can live up to the age of 75. Also the USA holds up to 310 million people which to come and think about that is a lot of people living in the US. We are the top 3 most populated countries in the world while China is in the top with almost 1.3 billion people. India has 1.2 billion people making it the 2nd most populated country.

     I was the 6,107,748,388 person living on earth. As the population seems to go higher and higher every second it scares me, because I don't think the earth will be able to hold more people if we keep growing as fast as this rate. Sooner or later the earth will stop functioning due to over population and we will all go to panic mode. But technology will keep advancing  there will also be new ways to save land and not to over harvest. Having 7 billion people in this earth is huge! Lots of land use is being used and people will keep taking advantage of there ecological footprint. People will be consuming more than what they're expected and sooner or later we will run out of natural resources.
