But there weren't any wild celebrations, fireworks or any other government-sponsored hoopla to mark the milestone. Why bother? Many experts think the population actually hit 300 million months ago.
"I don't think anybody believes it will be the precise moment when the population hits 300 million," Howard Hogan, the Census Bureau's associate director for demographic programs, said in an interview before the milestone was reached. But, he added, "We're confident that we're somewhat close."

we hit 200,000,000 in 1967. life magazine picked a kid and dubbed him the 200 millionth person.
his name is bobby wu, and he went to harvard.
this time around, it is just as likely that the 300 millionth person was an immigrant.
