The New Population Bomb: The Four Megatrends That Will Change the World
By Jack A. Goldstone
Four Megatrends:
Summary:
A series of looming demographic trends will greatly affect international security in the twenty-first century. How policymakers adjust to these changes now will determine the course of global political and economic stability for years to come.
Four Megatrends:
- A drop in the rich world’s population relative to the developing world’s;
- Aging populations in developed countries;
- An increase in undereducated, unemployed youth in developing (especially Muslim) countries; and
- The rise of overcrowded megacities in the developing world.
Third World as Retirement Home
NY Times: Idea of the Day
Because of uneven global population trends, old people in the future might be encouraged to move from aging rich countries to high-fertility developing nations with the medical and other workers to support their needs.

Para Fuera
Written and directed by Nicholas Jasenovec.
A portrait of Dr. Richard J. Bing on his hundredth birthday.
After being awarded the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival for his much beloved feature film debut 'Paper Heart,' Nicholas Jasenovec returns this year with this delightful short documentary of an exceptional man turning 100-years-old. Shortly before his centennial birthday celebration, the film's subject, Dr. Richard S. Bing, learned of the Bing search engine and wrote a letter to Microsoft about his life and upcoming milestone. Jasenovec, who was at work scripting a feature with writing partner Bill Hader, was asked to meet with the man, and instantly knew he wanted to make a short about Dr. Bing. When asked if there's anything he wishes to pass on to the film's audiences, Dr. Bing provides these words of wisdom: "Sometimes a ripe fruit has more flavor than one straight from the tree!"
