was estimated to be 6,664,853,158. The U.S. population
at 9:12am on this same day was 303,979,135. By the
year 2050 it is expected the world population to reach
9 Billion people. This is probably difficult to really get a
real number, but it was estimated that in the year 1000
population was at 310,000 and in 1900 around 1.6
million. The drastic increase in world population was due
to the advances in medicine and the massive increase
in agricultural productivity. Leading the advances in
the explosion of the 20th century has been thanks to
education, the hunger for learning, discovering and
sharing new found knowledge. And behind all of this have
been the Teachers, people that spend all of there live
giving knowledge for others to benefit.


Peak population:
9.2 Billion in 2075
