Click below for a quick look at how the nations of the world have changed in terms of annual income and life expectancy over the past 200 years, as per Hans Rosling on the BBC. This animated graphic certainly underscores how competitive the world has become , expecially since the middle of the 20th century, with all countries vying for the limited resources this planet has to offer.

I’d like to see how Rosling's numbers compare with Ted Fishman’s research on the aging of the world’s population. What will this all mean to our children and grandchildren?

Any thoughts?
