Fantastic passionate talk from Hans Rosling at TED

A great presentation titled New insights on poverty and life around the world. Hans uses fantastic data visualisation and a concise witty style to really make his point. A presenter that I am quite envious of. Well worth watching right through to the end.

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.
