>Because people generally cannot conceptualize what 7 billion people consumming really is. The amount of food and commodiites.> It is only 3 times what the current developed world and the rich part of developing world already consumes. What is so difficult to conceptualize? Engineers build things that are 100 times bigger than what they tested in labs and pilot scale. The developed world consumption is not increasing that fast and after the baby boom generation is gone, the consumption is going to slow down further. What wreck has been caused by 3 billion people in third world who got phone access in just last 10 years? Do you think semiconductor companies have run out of silicon? -Arun
