Life Expectancy: An expected time to live as calculated on the bases of statistical

Crude Birth rate: Crude birth rate is the nativity of childbirth per 1,000 people per year.

Crude Death Rate:  Mortality rate is a measure of the number of deaths (in general, or due to a specific cause) in some population, scaled to the size of that population, per unit time.

RNI: Rate of Natural Increase - In demographics, the rate of natural increase (RNI) is the crude birth rate minus the crude death rate of a population. If we neglect the migration, then a positive RNI number means that the population increases and a negative number means that the population decreases.

TFR: Total Fertility Rate - The sum of the age-specific birth rates of women in five-year age groups multipled by five. This rate estimates the number of children a cohort of 1,000 women would bear if they all went through their childbearing years exposed to the same age-specific birth rates in effect for a particular time.

Net Migration Rate: Net migration rate is the difference of immigrants and emigrants of an area in a period of time, divided (usually) per 1,000 inhabitants (considered on midterm population).

Population Period: A population pyramid, also called age-sex pyramid and age structure diagram, is a graphical illustration that shows the distribution of various age groups in a human population (typically that of a country or region of the world), which normally forms the shape of a pyramid.

Human Geography September 1st (:

Today we watched a video in class. Everyone in my group learned a lot of new things. We learned that facebook is the 3rd largest country in the world and that myspace is the 5th largest country in the world, if they were countries of course! Basically Technology is taking over the world, which is not a bad thing! It took the radio 38 whole years until 50 million people had bought the product! It took a tv 13 years, but the internet only 4 years. It took the iPod 3 years and Facebook 2 years! It only took 2 years for 50 million people to be on facebook!  Believe it or not the facebook world's population is growing everyday! I think its amazing how one social networking website can have such a great affect on so many people! They have more people on facebook then for every single person in the United States, that's amazing! In 2013, there will be a computer made that exceeds one person computational capabilities. It is estimated that by the year 2049, there will be a computer that exceeds the computational capabilities of the entire human species.Did you know that for every one in eight million couples met on line?  An average person will have about 14 jobs before they are at the age of 36. It is amazing how much Technology is used in every day life.
