How much space if everyone is lined up shoulder to shoulder does the world's current population take up?

A reasonable packing would be three people to the square meter. The world's population in October 2008 is about 6.7 billion people. So we would need 2233 square kilometers or 862 square miles. If you moved all these people to New Haven County, Connecticut, USAwhich has that exact area, the whole population of the worldcould stand upright, three to a square meter, completely within its borders. (Does it have any lakes or rivers?) OK, 256 square miles is water, so 2 billion people will be treading water. Surely some of them can swim!


What kind of shoes did hippies wear in the winter?

Hippies in the winter often wore shearling-lined boots, such as sheepskin or suede boots, to keep their feet warm and cozy. They also favored moccasins and colorful knit socks to add a touch of bohemian style to their winter outfits.


How does automation affect unemployment rates?

No. Automation does not increase unemployment. Automation actually increases the quantity and quality of employment.Frederick Winslow Taylor answered this question in 1911 in his book The Principles of Scientific Management."The cheapening of any article in common use almost immediately results in a largely increased demand for that article. The introduction of machinery resulted in making shoes at a fraction of their former labor cost, the demand for shoes has so increased that there are relatively more men working in the shoe industry now than ever before."The same pattern is repeated again and again in every industry and every continent for the past 100 years. For every low-paying, menial jobs that automation eliminates, it creates one or more higher paying, less menial jobs.See page 16 of Taylor's book in the Related Link below.
