count-down to 300 million
http://www.census.gov/population/www/popclockus.html
A couple little interesting facts.
-The world has 6.5 billion people in it.
-The US has the 3 largest population by country.
-China is #1 with 1.3 billion people.
-Asian accounts for about 5 billion total.
-1 billion people use the internet.
That last one is especially interesting. In my life time 1 billion people started using the internet. It used to be a geeky thing. 6 years ago I spent hours in a car being told that the internet was a fad. I feel safe now saying it isn't a fad and that 1/6 of the world population get spam.
