Scalability...

If it takes a woman 9 months to deliver a baby, will 2 women
be able to deliver 2 babies in the same time frame ?

If they can, this is a very scalable process. You can
throw more resources and expect the throghput to rise
accordingly.

Take another example. If one car can take 4 people from
here to there in 1 hour, will 100 cars be able to do
the same for 400 people ?

They may not be able to if the congestion will cause the
traffic to slowdown. Usually, scalability suffers if there
be a critical resource that does not scale well (some
bottleneck)

So, population growth is scalable, highways are not. Geez,
what a scary set of examples !
