^Wow. You live in a bubble.
Edit: Seems there are different figures ranging from 1500 - 37000. The movie rounded up from 37000, for dramatic effect I assume.

From the bubble-- I would not use a study with a range of 1,500 to 37,000 to draw any conclusion or studies that are 30-50 years old. Technology, communication, medical advances as examples are extremely advanced.
