I feel like the talk of this subject is very informational.And I learned a lot about this topic like the change of lives from 1962 to 2010.The live population has dropped and raised over and over again.It also talked about child life and how kids are being born and dying.I think this video would be good for people to watch if they wanted to know more about the change of population and live births of people and the deaths of people.
(opinion on talk)I feel that Ted is making some interesting points about birth rates,life expectancy,and population. I also learned and I found it interesting that slowly the developing countries are getting higher life expectancy yet are having lower fertility rate.
(Response to Emma Higgins) I agree that the video is informational but I disagree that the population dropped, only the fertility decreased.
I feel like the ted video is telling us about birth rates from united states from africa and he's trying to explain how many people have died and how many people actully get to have a life as a adult and not just as a kid which means:you get live as a kid and you will die when older so you only know things like math,what you want to be when your older but when your older you get to have that job and know what it acutally means to have a job.Thats what i think while watching the ted video.
I also agree with emma about the population has dropped and raised but one thing is she talking about all countries when she says the countries have dropped and raised or certain ones?
depending on the birthrates and death rates in certain countries.
posting about kelsey's comment i agree with her alot about the deaths and the other really important stuff she talked about in her comment.I was talking about in my comment about all the countries.
This video didnt make much sense to me but what i got out of it was this in my this ted video is talking about death rates and one thing about death rates is how child survivaul is getting low and how some people dont even know what its like to have a job because u die when ur older. Thats my opinion on this ted video
I feel that the Ted video was very change because that guy toke about his whole life just to find small things changing in the economy. That did not mean much to the guy to change the way we do our life or how to help people it was him wanting to learn how to change it and what is being changed. I also feel inspired to learn more about this through my life.

This particular topic is an interesting one and I think people should notice it more. This topic talks about birth rates and death rates rising and falling. Kids are dying in other countries.This video makes me sad and happy in many different ways.
2.I disagree with Baily it makes perfect sense to me but I also agree with Emma this video is very informational and I enjoyed learning about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
