Human Population Growth Issue

Were you surprised at the current size of the human population or at its changes since your year of birth?

             I was extremely surprised how the global population has changed since the year I was born. The world population was 5,579,260,000 the year I was born. However, it now stands at 7,597,180,000, an indication that it has increased by 1.36 times. This is an indication that the number of people has increased rapidly over the last 25 years.
