Hans Rosling Shows the Best Stats You've Ever Seen






Summary:

Hans Rosling shows graphical representations of data to present a new way of thinking about the developing world.



I was really impressed by this talk. I was shocked at the data that he presented. It really showed that the "third world" countries are not so much different than the other countries. The trends shown were made possible by the data and graphic representations that he was able to use. He stresses that both of these are very important for everyone. Everybody should see this TED talk.
