I never thought of the world this way before... it has really opened up my eyes and showed me a new way to look at our future as a planet

[@jonasfriesen9134]

I've never thought about the world in the way he described it. It made me have a more positive view on the world and our future on it.

[@siopau1501]

I am shocked to see that was shown in the video. I have learned something new and I'll always remember this video. I'll give it a like to show my support on this video!

[@summerlover014]

I have never imagined the world this way before the video. It has really made me think more about the global changes that are happening in our world to do with the population growth and it gave me a very different view of our future.

[@halcyonagee]

I’ve learned a lot from just this 15 min video! learning how greatly birth rates affect our population was very fascinating. Also what our population was predicted to look is something to think about as well. i would have never thought the population in areas such as North America and Europe wouldn’t grow as greatly as Africa did. Definitely something i should learn more about!

This video changed my opinion about the world. I think people can watch more videos and know more data about our world to understand what we need to do to make our life better. The most surprising thing is that most people chose women just spend a few years in school. Why did they think so? Women have the same rights as men, but most people still had an old viewpoint. I hope in the future they can change the mind and establish a better community together.

Wow! Great insightful video on the world's population! Hans Rosling is an inspiration to all!

[@begomahmutivc3347]

This video really makes you think of the world's way of thinking because they always seem to end up predicting the worst answer, which is worse then random coming from Hans Rosling. Some of the things he says are facts i've never heard before so it made me think about the future and present.

[@jordanmooney1485]

This video helped me look at the worlds population in a whole other perspective, being able to see how the world has grown in population and how it is growing and the expected or predicted population is quite interesting, it's hard to believe how where I live it's around 10% of the population or will be, it's seems like theirs so many people here, it makes me wonder what it's like to live in other countries and being in the generation I'm in in interests me to find out how accurate Hans Rosling will actually be. For one to gather all this information and make it understandable and to throw in some laughs is also something I admire about this video.

When i was going along with the video i didn't expect the actual results to be, what they were. I expected worse, just like everyone else. But after looking at the statistics, it gives me hope that our world isn't so bad after all and it will get better as time goes on.

[@kennyk7514]

Very interesting, changed my view.

The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.

This is a very interesting video. I learned a lot.

[@joshma1371]

great video changed me view

[@HeyItzDiz]

very interesting

[@arifmahtab]

My last answer was ok but first two didn't. i am a bit shocked that world population is now in control but most of the people don't know about it, almost everyone is terrified about the population increase. people should know about this.

[@sokkydesmond1066]

We really do expect the worst out of the world nowadays.

[@CocoNut-pg4tb]

asian population may increase upto 2050 but then china's population will be on declining trend. India's population will decline in the 4th quarter of this century (both has huge weightage ). So it will be again 4 billion or may be less than that in 2100

[@cheapmoviesnow]

and what evidence are you supporting this with?

[@hevnervals]

I wonder what will happen to our species without dominant white and east asian cultures. I fear chaos and barbarism

[@IsakIIIHemmingsson]

In the early 18th century there was chaos and barbarism in the white europe. There is nothing in our blood who make is peaceful.

[@hevnervals]

No, but our cultural achievements developed over thousands of years could be lost.
