This Is What Would Happen If Humanity Suddenly Disappeared
We all might believe that we are what keeps the world spinning, but we couldn't be more wrong. The fact is that planet Earth would do so much better without us. That might sound pessimistic and destructive, however, by looking at the way nature operates this is the truth. Many of us have probably on ...

There have been countless concept designs and illustrations that have given us a preview into what our future lives may hold.

Internet Then & Now: Timeline From 1969 Till Today [Infographic]
Everyone knows the Internet is growing fast. That's no mystery. The question is, do you know how fast? According to the stats page on Wordpress, in 2011 there were over 100,000 new Wordpress blogs started every day. That number could easily be doubled by now, and that's just blogging. When I start t ...

7 Billion: Every Single Person In The World Represented On One Chart
When our brains think about huge numbers, sometimes they are hard to conceptualize. Take the debt in the United States for example. It's hard to visualize such a vast amount of money, which almost makes it seem not real. Population is like that too. We know that there are at least 7 billion people i ...

All The Real & Ridiculous Ways The World Could End [Infographic]
Have you ever thought about all the ways the world could end? Hopefully not since it's not exactly the most inspiring thing to think about. If you are a generally paranoid person who always worries about how the world will end, you are going to love this graphic. Personally, I don't think the world ...

7 Billion: How We Became So Many So Fast [Video Infographic]
Not too long ago, earth's 7 billionth citizen was born, and the world marked another milestone on its long timeline. There is a lot of information that can be derived from this number, and what it represents, that we really don't know much about. You might think that 7 billion is just a number that ...
World’s Skinniest House: It’s Only 52 Inches Wide
I suppose the proper way to phrase this would be to write "world's narrowest house," but skinniest is just a fun word, and I hardly ever get to type it. We've written about tiny houses before, many times actually. With the population on earth growing exponentially each year, many designers and archi ...

One Day On Earth: Every Country On The Same Day [Video]
We are all just specks of dust in the universe. Does that make our lives insignificant? I believe it doesn't because even though we are just an itty-bitty piece of the puzzle, we are all connected. Our lives touch the lives of everyone else on this planet, and for that reason, we are very significan ...
America According To Twitter
Everyone that has used Twitter knows that in the very beginning of their Twitter career, people are clueless about what the service is used for. It's such a simple idea, yet with so much potential that you start wondering if it will really be beneficial to you. Once you start getting into things, yo ...
Smallest Town In America: Population One Person
I can't decide if this is sad or kinda neat. As you see in that sign, the town of Monowi, Nebraska has a population of one person. Her name is Elsie Eiler, and she is 77 years old. Most of the town's buildings are crumbling down, and as you can imagine, it's very quiet and desolate.
The last even ...

A World Without Facebook… [Infographic]
We all have an account, or at least almost everyone does. If you were to ask 100 random people around town what Facebook is, you would probably get 99 correct answers. Even if people don't have their own account, they of course know about it, at least in the civilized world. The growth of Facebook i ...
The Future As Predicted By Google Search Results
Richard and I have had this conversation a few different times. I'd be interested to know what your opinion is. Would it be better to know for certain what the future holds so you can be prepared for what's coming or to live each day not knowing what is going to happen next? We both agreed that it i ...
This Is What A Typical Person Looks Like: Are You Typical?
I've often wondered what keeps a company like National Geographic (formerly National Geographic Magazine) going decade after decade. That yellow-framed magazine was popular back when I was a kid, and it is still just as recognizable today. However, today, it is no longer just a magazine. National ...

I Love Stats: Birth Rate Statistics For The USA [Infographic]
Ever since I watched Hans Rosling's "The Joy of Stats," I've been thinking more about our world statistics and population. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. It's a four-minute augmented reality presentation plotting 120,000 statistics from 200 countries over the past 200 years.
