Population

The article had some interesting facts on population. Although population could potentially be a problem, people are essentially what make this life what it is. New people means new ideas and new growth. 7 billion is a lot of people....but what is the 7 billionth person is our future's president? As far as the videos go they were both long but informative. I liked Jason Clay's speech. I was intrigued and wanted to know what point he was making exactly so he kept me glued to the screen. But, on another note, agriculture has a big effect on our planet and small farming really should be an issue that is paid more attention. The craziest thing of all is that the population didnt reach a billion until the 1800s, which it seems like then it just kept booming, billion after billion in only years timing.
