A bit off topic but I just came across this article about how the US's population has grown and aged in the last 60 years or so. It's got some cool graphics imo. The intention is to show that the US is unlikely to be able to look after its growing numbers and proportions of oldies.

PS I'm with you, I have no clue as to what the answer will be. I see we hit 7b people sometime next year...
