Does the massive increase in communications technology -- the internet, cell phones, satellite and cable television, internet video like youtube, and so on -- make us more informed? Or does it do the opposite -- spead doubt, confusion, lies, mythology, crackpot conspiracy theories, and the like? Bandwidth will keep increasing and increasing, so what should we expect for the future?

Overpopulation
This is a PAST event. See "Meeting Notes" section for audio, video, documents and other information.
Original event date/time: Friday February 23rd, 2007, 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm Frosty Wooldridge will be joining us in Frebruary to talk about overpopulation. He writes: "An average of 8,200 people are added to our country every day via annual net gains in US births at 1.0 million and immigration at 2.3 million--legal, illegal and their births. Soon past the mid-century, those 200 million more Americans will be struggling for dwindling resources, water, food and a diminishing quality of life. In a western state like Colorado, a drought in 2050 will become a DISASTER along with many other consequences.
"Where is America headed? According to 60 Minutes, we have one million homeless children struggling in our inner cities today. Why can't we take care of their needs even today? What will be the fate of another 200 million people who create homeless children? How many is too many?"
Bring your thinking caps, because Frosty has promised his talk will be a challenge to conventional assumptions and will require an open mind and critical thinking!
