The consequences of population growth. How technology is (literally) reshaping our brains

This measure has been extremely criticized as it has many effects, not only on the families, with many forced abortions on second unwanted children, but also on the society itself, as the labor force decreases (3.45 million in 2012) and the elderly population will reach one third of total by 2050.

Heráclito de Éfeso era un filósofo griego pre-Socrático conocido por sus pensamientos sobre el cambio y el movimiento. Para él, todo estaba en constante cambio, nada permanecia quieto.
En los últimos siglos, los cambios han ocurrido en saltos cuánticos, cada gran cambio (el control del fuego por los humanos, la rueda, el acero, la metalurgia, etc.) han sido sucedidos por periodos de cierta estabilidad, donde los humanos disponían de tiempo y generaciones para acostumbrarse antes de que el siguiente cambio se produjera.
