Hans Rosling Presents Stats You Can't Ignore

This presentation by Professor Hans Rosling is fascinating in two ways.


The statistics Rosling presents are remarkable, fascinating, and should change the way we think about Third World Countries. It certainly opened my eyes.

The second point of interest was the *way* the statistics were presented. Think about this presentation as a PowerPoint slide show. The stats are the same, but I believe the impact isn't. By *morphing* the graphs, the statistics have a much more significant impact on the audience's attention and focus, and likely retention/impact as well.

Watch the presentation twice if you wish, focusing on each aspect on each run. It shows yet again that the information is only as good as the presenter. Excellent presentations make for excellent information.
