Global population is not growing nearly as fast as it was then, and its predicted to lower even further.

People have less children, especially in developed countries. They often average less than two children per couple, thus reducing population, no increasing it.

If you aren't gaming, just grab a mid range 5xxx series and you will be fine. Should have very little trouble finding one for less than $80.

If you want more than that, get a HD 6770. You can have em for about $115 and it should keep up with any HD, moderate gaming(as long as you don't expect maxed settings) and should last you another 3/4 years before its too outdated.

There is no reason to spend more than $200 on a video card unless you are doing hardcore gaming on multiple or high resolution monitors.

These people are from a different generation. People my age that were into photography learned to compose our shots and consider proper exposure prior to taking the shot because each roll of film only had so many exposures. When I traveled, I MIGHT shoot 3 rolls a day.

Kids these days just spam the button on their DSLRs, relying on quantity to provide them with a good shot after the fact.
