World Clock
I was searching in the internet for examples of globalization and world development and growth, when i found a link to a "world clock". For my surprise this link had a very interesting site, it consists of a clock that shows you second by second whats going on in the world, persons dying, persons borning, diseases detected, animal growth, world population, deforestation numbers, animals in extinction, etc. You can choose to see the things that have happened today, in a week, year and the numbers will change automatically.

It is very interesting and it makes you think in what are we in this world? how many things happen in the world daily? How fast are we consuming planet earth? How long are we missing? :O! take a look, it is very interesting, i hope you enjoy it.
