Minding the Gaps in Information: Ideas Worth Spreading: Hans Rosling from TED 2006 [FAC: I highly commend viewing this presentation for its instructive and often entertaining qualities. Enjoy!] "The problem is not ignorance, but pre-conceived ideas." "See" how the world is changing. Visual imagery can tell stories and truths which would be very hard to capture and communicate otherwise. Hans Rosling, Professor of International Health, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden since 1998, uses beautiful animated charts and minimalistic diagrams to explain the world we live in. Poverty, money and health can be seen at once shaping or being shaped by world events, technology and the passing of time. This is a beautiful lesson in visual communication. A must view for any serious presenter. The Video: video.google.com Also available directly from TED with SD format downloadable: ted.com Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Hans Rosling on TEDTalks: tedblog.typepad.com -- Gapminder and Google make sense of the world by having fun with statistics Gapminder and Google share an enthusiasm for technology that makes data easily accessible and understandable to the world. Gapminder’s Trendalyzer software unveils the beauty of statistics by converting boring numbers into enjoyable interactive animations. We believe that Google’s acquisition of Trendalyzer will speed up the achievement of this noble goal. gapminder.org ------
