A "billion" is bantered around so lightly now-a-days that we seldom give much thought to what a billion "really" represents. Numerically, a billion equals 1,000,000,000 of something!
Not impressed by the large number? Then consider this...
- A billion months ago... dinasaurs dominated life on earth.
- The U.S. National Debt increases by a $billion every 14 hours.
- At the minimum wage of $7.25/hour a person would have to work 66, 313 years to accumulate a billion dollars.
