Demographics

Just saw this in Developer Magazine … Some surprising demographic projections

• By 2030, 60 percent of all people will live in cities and their suburbs;
• In that same time period, they estimate that 7 out of 10 those people will reside in either Africa or Asia
• China, India and the US are the three most populous nations today (in that order)
• By 2030, India will surpass China in population

Wow!  The first one is the reason I write this blog.  Duh.  The second fact is surprising because we in this hemisphere think we’re the most important and thusly the most numerous.  The third one surprised me because I thought Brazil or Russia would be more populous that the US.  And the final one shocked me … Inida?  Really?!
