In the video to the left, NPR explains visually how much the world's population has exploded in recent history. Its interesting to think about, it almost seems like we are in an age of flux, between an old time and a new future. How will our global culture as a species change just within the next hundred years or so? Will individuals naturally decide to have less children as a conscious or subconscious reaction to longer lifespans, better medical services, less food, water, & other resources to divide between an ever growing population? Is there a self-regulating limit that nature silently exerts on all of us, like an inflating balloon aware of the pop?
