Video of Human Population Growth

I remember seeing this video in 2000, when I was a gangly freshman in high school. Eight years later, I'm still gangly and blown away by this video. (Don't let the bad scripting and video quality fool you).

It worries me that countries fret over the decline of their population growth. It's like a race to see who can have more babies.
