Wow! I had no idea it was that many. I knew the world has been turbocharged at an increasing rate, on an exponential basis, but I didn't know we were up to that rate.

<According to the French Giget, recent figures show that there are 10 million researchers in the world, 15,000 scientific articles are published per day and every year US$ 1 trillion is invested in research and 800,000 patents are accepted. The number of researchers should double in ten years and exceed 20 million, according to the specialist, who is the founder of the European Institute of Creative Strategies. The Indians and Chinese will be greatly responsible for this increase, stated Giget. Last year, according to him, there were one million researchers in China. "Approximately 800,000 engineers graduated in China in 2006," said the Frenchman.>
