Playing with Statistics Again

This story could be about anything, they make you think something is wrong when I more than likely isn't. They are always trying to play on your fear. Of course something new is going to grow faster than something that's been around.

For example, take cars in the early 20th century, the growth rate probably seemed astronomical. Not many had a car and everyone was buying one, compared to now most families probably have at least two. If most people have one it isn't going to grow much. And those horse and buggies and all the people required to care for them were on the decline.

Well I'm sure most people who want a MySpace page probably have one and it just won't grow much more. We have to get away from this culture of the latest and greatest and stick with something that is tried and true. Think a little, don't feel so much.
