Dont know how accurate this is but if its close this is interesting….

Earth's Population in Perspective...

This is quite informative!

 

 The population of Earth is around 7.8 billion.

 For most people, that is a large figure.  However, if you condensed 7.8 billion into 100 persons, the resulting analysis is much easier to comprehend.       

 Out of 100:

 11 are in Europe
5 are in North America
9 are in South America
15 are in Africa
60 are in Asia

49 live in the countryside
51 live in cities
   
75 have mobile phones
25 do not.

30 have internet access
70 do not have the availability to go online

7 received university education
93 did not attend college.

83 can read
17 are illiterate.

33 are Christians
22 are Muslims
14 are Hindus
7 are Buddhists
12 are other religions
12 have no religious beliefs.

26 live less than 14 years
66 died between 15 - 64 years of age
8 are over 65 years old.
   
If you have your own home,
Eat full meals and drink clean water,
Have a mobile phone,
Can surf the internet, and
have gone to college,
You are in the miniscule, privileged lot of less than 7%.

Amongst 100 persons in the world, only 8 live or exceed the age of 65.

If you are over 65 years old, be content and grateful. Cherish life, grasp the moment.

If you did not leave this world before the age of 64 like the 92 persons who have gone before you, you are already the blessed amongst mankind.

Take good care of your own health. Cherish every remaining moment.

If you think you are suffering memory loss - or Anosognosia - don’t worry.

In the following analysis the French Professor Bruno Dubois, Director of the Institute of Memory and Alzheimer's Disease (IMMA) at La Pitié-Salpêtrière - Paris Hospitals, addresses the subject in a rather reassuring way:

 "If anyone is aware of their memory problems, they do not have Alzheimer's." It often happens that people 60 years and older complain that they lack memory. They…

1.       forget the names of families.

2.    do not remember where they put some things .

"The information is always in the brain, it is the "processor" that is lacking."

This is "Anosognosia" or temporary forgetfulness.

Half of people 60 and older have some symptoms that are due to age rather than disease. The most common cases are:
- forgetting the name of a person,
- going to a room in the house and not remembering why they were going there,
- a blank memory for a movie title or actor, an actress,
 - a waste of time searching where we left our glasses or keys.

After 60 years most people have such a difficulty which indicates that it is not a disease but rather a characteristic due to the passage of years ..

 Many people are concerned about these oversights hence the importance of the following statements:

1."Those who are conscious of being forgetful have no serious problem of memory."
2. "Those who suffer from a memory illness or Alzheimer's are not aware of what is happening."

 Professor Bruno Dubois, Director of IMMA, reassures the majority of people concerned about their oversights:

"The more we complain about memory loss, the less likely we are to suffer from memory sickness."

Now for a little neurological test:
Only use your eyes!

1- Find the C in the table below!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

2- If you found the C, then find the 6 in the table below.

99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
69999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999


3- Now find the N in the table below. Attention, it's a little more difficult!

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNMM
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

If you pass these three tests without problem:
- you can cancel your annual visit to the neurologist.
- your brain is in perfect shape!
- you are far from having any relationship with Alzheimer's.

 We are truly blessed so share this with your over-55 friends, it can reassure them.

Interesting indeed. We naturally worry about how well our mind is going to function as we get older. I hope I'm never a burden to my daughters although I do kid them about it from time to time, asking who is going to change my diapers since they're so sure I'm going to live to age 100. Apparently all is well...so far. It only took a few seconds to spot the letters and number in the visual tests at the bottom but one problem does now exist...I can't find my computer glasses.  Cool

Very interesting.
I would love to see a similar breakdown of only the U.S. population.

There is a slight problem, I passed easily but many still say I have problems  Grin

I have a pair of reading glasses in each car, in the garage, in every room in the house where I typically read (except bathrooms Cool), and in my book bag that I regularly take away from the house.  That's 9 places, plus I have a couple of cheap backups ready to go. Anywhere else I need to read fine print, I zoom in with my phone's camera.
