You've never seen data presented like this. With the drama and urgency of a sportscaster, Hans Rosling
debunks myths about the so-called "developing world" using
extraordinary animation software developed by his Gapminder Foundation.
The Trendalyzer software (recently acquired by Google) turns complex
global trends into lively animations, making decades of data pop. Asian
countries, as colorful bubbles, float across the grid -- toward better
national health and wealth. Animated bell curves representing national
income distribution squish and flatten. In Rosling's hands, global
trends -- life expectancy, child mortality, poverty rates -- become
clear, intuitive and even playful. (Recorded February 2006 in Monterey,
CA. Duration: 20:35) - More TEDTalks at http://www.ted.com/ ;"Rosling believes that making information more accessible has the potential to change the quality of the information itself." :Business Week Online//
