My marketing professor showed us this video in class just now

See? This is why we should nuke China and India while we still have the chance! 🙂

Just kidding! I welcome our new IndoChinese overlords 🙂
 
interesting

EDIT: Imagine a computer that can figure out what kind of game you want to play, program it and have it ready to go with a click of a button :Q
 
What is the point of the presentation? Shift happens? Things change? We should be worried?

Personally don't see the birth-rate stats as being a problem at all. It just means China and India will face more squalor in the future and need to direct more resources into infastructure and social programs than we will. Also, many of their citizans will likely continue to migrate to North America in search of greater freedom, environment and opportunity.

Yeah - interesting premise, highly fictional, of course. I have a weak spot for dystopian novels. Someone posted a link to that page, and a few minutes after I finished reading the chapter I had already ordered myself a copy.

One of the quirky aspects of that future society is government has had funding slashed - victims of crime have to literally pay for investigations, in the hopes that someone is prosecuted and those costs recouped. Crimes against the poor go unpunished.

2. A computer is only capable of doing what a human can program it to do.
