One Billion
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into perspective in one of its releases:_
_
A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the_rate Washington spends it.
