I admit it's a bit serious, you might even add nerdy... but it's awesome for multiple reasons. First this presentation is packed with real valuable informations - anthropology - presented in a new, cool, dynamic way. Second the speaker, Hans Rosling, instead of being a geek praised only for his research, masters the delivery of this presentation in an efficient yet funny way! Finally, I'm stunned by the end message, the goal he wishes to achieve : Make the data available to everybody through free web tools; all this in order to kill myths with actual, factual, data. What !?? It's not already done !!! my God! When I put this in comparison with all the books and the painting once hidden in museum now accessible on the web, free, with Google's help, I support Hans' quest ! Free DATA !!!
Worth the 20 minutes you'll dedicate to this ;-)
Sit back, turn your brain on
If you wish to go further, digg into the Gapminder web site. It's a non-profit, web museum and it's filled with content ! Great !!
