Came across this while searching for something else:

BBC News - 7 billion people and you: What's your number?

Although the page was created in 2011, the numbers are still current and the world population is being 'counted' as you take part. 835 people were added to the population in the few minutes I was on the site.

When I was born in 1968 I was the 3,558,060,446th person on the planet. The world population has roughly doubled since then, now over 7 billion.

Where do you fit in?

Here's a world population clock too:

2,261,643,781st.

I was only about the 130,000,000th person in the USA. Even the USA now has 2.5 times as many people in it as when I was born.

I was about the 6.000th in my home town, which was then bigger than Las Vegas.

8,761,000,000 people have been born since I was born, and about a quarter of them have apparently already died.

The population was 4,989,297,723 when I was born in 1986. Roughly the 80 billionth person to have ever lived.

Also the population of my city was 1,061,419 and 16,178,313 for the country as a whole.

According to this I'm the 4,753,704,397th person to be born on earth. This is pretty interesting but probably not completely accurate. If they included the birth times there might be a bit more accuracy but that might not take into account all the babies born simultaneously. Still interesting.

Personally I kind of like these things:

Hopefully, before we reach 10 million, they'll have colonies on Mars and in orbit.

My birthday: June 7th, 1991 21 years old/Earliest 20s

Before this year, I was not even old enough to be allowed to legally drink alcoholic beverages in a bar, and I had to sometimes bring personal ID to hookah smoking lounges since I was 15 years old lol I am kind of surprised some hookah lounges allowed me to smoke there as early as 15 years old with friends and girlfriend that are also the same age. I also had a temporary tattoo when I was 15 years old but I don’t have a tattoo anymore. Maybe I have to put up a personal id photo in a post to verify I am 21 years old right now? Lol However, I look like I am in my late 20s instead of Earliest 20s for being well built and just looking good and a bit older.

I also know I appear older than my current age for being so wise about the world when I am serious, including in my very well organized posting, and for my perfect sense of humor when it is appropriate.

Based on the website link, I was the 5,388,805,045th person alive on Earth, and the 80,506,926,210th person to have live since history began.

However, the value of the best individuals and best people on Earth matters so much more than the actual number. This is for the most elite, prominent, top people, most important people in world society. We have to know the top 10% best people in the world in the overcrowded and overly populated world. We probably have to categorize between the good positive contributors to society vs. the bad negative contributors to society, and realize there is a noticeable difference in this demographic information.
