- In 1936 my
Ford Truck was two years old and the total population was 128,053,180. In the last 70 years we have grown

would be 1.2% interest per year compounded annually.
-

-
- What would be
even more interesting if I had the data would be the trend lines for each of
these statistics. The data came from
Schott’s Almanac 2007. I need to update this
for some interesting trends to surface. Hope
you learned something interesting.
