Hans Rosling: Watch the end of poverty

[Rajiv]

In a follow-up to his now-legendary TED2006 presentation, Hans Rosling demonstrates how developing countries are pulling themselves out of poverty. He shows us the next generation of his Trendalyzer software -- which analyzes and displays data in amazingly accessible ways, allowing people to see patterns previously hidden behind mountains of stats. (Ten days later, he announced a deal with Google to acquire the software.) He also demos Dollar Street, a program that lets you peer in the windows of typical families worldwide living at different income levels. Be sure to watch straight through to the (literally) jaw-dropping finale.

November 23, 2009: I hadn't seen his presentations before but my partner just posted this to me: http://www.ted.com/talks/hans_roslin..._and_when.html

After viewing and enjoying, I thought I would search iTulip to see if anyone had mentioned him before, and here we are in this ancient thread.

Now I will view yours!
