Innovating how we visualise data

From www.ted.com:

With the drama and urgency of a sportscaster, Prof. Hans Rosling uses software from Gapminder debunks a few myths about the "developing" world. This global health visionary has discovered a powerful new way to communicate complex data about the world; his remarkable interactive graphs help deliver profound insights about global trends and will change forever the way you think about "us" and "them." Rosling is professor of international health at Sweden's Karolinska Institute, and founder of Gapminder, a nonprofit that brings vital global data to life. (Recorded February 2006 in Monterey, CA.)

As a bit of an info-graphics nerd, I really appreciated the clarity of this presentation, especially how Prof. Rosling used animation, and timelines to communicate his point. If you are interested in info-graphics and/or world development issues, please do take a look at this video from the TEDTalks series.
