before the computer the cost of everything was going through the roof because of the paper trail,

Overpopulation will probably be one of the greatest catalysts for conflict in the coming century. Perhaps our wars of political vengeance and land seizure will seem petty to the 21st-century warrior, who will fight for such basic commodities as water and food. Maybe our ultimate downfall will not be the result of some technological monstrosity (à la nuclear holocaust,) but merely our expanding presence. Cold statistics are used to justify deer hunting. If deer weren't hunted, resources and living space would be spread so thin that even more of them would die. Such a disturbing calculation can be turned against our own race. If the population trend continues, in 100 years Earth will house 12 billion people living in deplorable conditions. However, according to one ecologist, if the population dropped to two billion by 2100, everyone would have a comfortably high standard of living.

These facts are not easy to reconcile. How does one speak of people in terms of billions and still maintain a sense of humanity? Are better living conditions worth the cost of 10 billion future lives? And how does one enact regulatory measures in third-world nations with governments too weak to enforce them? The prospect of population control is staggering, and by all reasonable accounts unsolvable. People will continue to procreate, multiply, and spread. Poor countries will become poorer as their populations grow exponentially and any vestige of resource management will crumble as people fight for basic necessities like food and water.

Of course, an optimist could argue that our technology will keep up with our numbers and that mankind will find a way to subsist and survive. But this is not true. The Green Revolution is over. We aren't growing any more food than we were in 1983. Genetically-engineered food has only gotten us so far. Widespread famine is almost inevitable, and with that comes the possibility of an even more destructive outcome: world war. Yes, with the new millennium only 6 years old, doomsday predictions have been popping up at a sickening rate. Yet a famine war is a real possibility if third-world political structures remain as weak as they are. While the six-billionth child was at once a testament to mankind's progress, she is surely also a sign of its doom.
