You've never seen data presented like this. With the drama and urgency of a sportscaster, statistics guru Hans Rosling debunks myths about the so-called "developing world."
Talk by Hans Rosling.

[@miabua73]

Rest in peace, Hans. Thank you for educating people in an entertaining way. :-)

[@ranjit9427]

R.I.P, Truly one of the greatest Teachers and Researchers ever...

[@professionalkiller17]

THIS IS THE BEST DATA PRESENTATION I HAVE EVER SEEN. I had to pause every now and then because of how I amazed I am by the animation and the learnings. And considering this is 2006!

[@wk8219]

I would love to see an updated version of this talk. I suspect these trends are still moving, it would be interesting to see how far and how quickly. I have seen this before and I rewatch it every few years. It remains one of my favorite Ted talks of all time.

[@jabrown]

It's amazing to see the website he mentions today and see that all this stuff he wanted to do with the data is now being done :)

[@McCabeH9]

What an amazing video. this is a gentleman who educated many and I feel fortunate to have seen his videos. RIP Professor Hans.

[@rlei327]

first time ever i saw someone present data with such a passion, absolutely amazing even when we have so much tools available today in 2021.

[@manuelcarrillo55]

I would like to see the update of this charts for this year 2020

[@AnjaliSharma-gf8mu]

Marvelous presentation, truly inspiring!❤

[@ravemachine517]

Such a brilliant speaker and wonderful man!

[@rani23shilpi]

WOW!! This was an "Experience". Such a beautiful presentation of statistics. I think I will retain much of this information given in under 20 minutes than in my whole academic life...

[@tobara]

in 2022, this still seems to me one of the, if not THE, best educational presentation ever.

[@sidjindal]

that was AWESOME. i need to learn this way of presentation!

[@brunocheung3929]

literally the coolest stat i ve ever seen

[@hach-p7522]

Seeing stats like these get me so excited and want to make data maps for EVERYTHING.

[@setyo4559]

thanks for sharing

[@zyz5557585]

Wow! super interesting and insightful.

[@Germaniyin_tamilmagan]

what an amazing tool, the presentation woke me up. Thanks Hans Rosling for intruding me.

[@minskyiiss]

I've seen him give this speech live before and if you liked this I really recommend watching the full version (around 1h long). it's really fascinating :)

[@Lugmillord]

Wow. He's so passionate about statistics. I love it!

[@gregorymartin11]

He present the data in a interesting way. I will watch more of his presentation.

[@lovelynepal]

very impressive !!

[@oliverjennsen2163]

great and so easy to understand - yet, I think the problem is that most governments don't want the ordinary people to know too much, to get too much information, so they put some lock on or block things. .....

[@travishildenbrand6890]

THANK YOU dR rOSLING!

[@Julia-rq7uj]

This is great, data should be more and more open to the public. Everyone should be taught in school how to access public data. This is important, because otherwise a small amount of people will capitalize too much on data.

[@Super-F1]

The Roslings have transformed my views of the world. Thank you !

[@gafg2011]

No words is enough to describe how awesome this guy is. All i can do is give him a like and spread the vid.

[@Dorinvitations]

Best Video to get started with Data Mining and Data Analytics -

[@jakeowen4170]

Lots of really interesting data, but it would have been more digestible if he slowed down a bit and summarized insights as he went along. We went from Swedish students' perceptions of the world to breaking down regions life expectancy to the benefit of Gapminder. I wasn't really sure the direction he was going throughout the presentation. Very good speaker and visualizations though!

[@rangedfighter]

This professor is awesome, I would love to live in his country (and my children to grow up there)

[@anggipermanaharianja6122]

So amazing!

[@falnica]

I have an idea, an organization, probably Google, could get all this information, and you could acces to a web page and select your x and y axis and all your parameters, and the web site would show them to you this good

[@greenpulseeducation5002]

Very impressive

[@mukeshcuster]

7:30 is very misleading in my opinion due to the logarithmic scale used, if you compare the average incomes the OECD is vast by comparison to any other area

[@LxGhackerrrr]

very impress

[@EXPLOSIVEXPLOSION]

im more amazed by this amazing software than about these stats

[@vatnidd]

4:05 It's like football commentary.

[@ranjit9427]

"if I Now Let The World Move Forward..". Absolute Legend In Data Analytics. Before it became a thing...

[@kzelc]

Excellent

[@nagaajayk322]

I got really goosebumps at 5:00, great work sir.

[@lucilledelorme]

His enthusiasm and passion for his subject is so infectious he’s just a joy to learn from. Imagine a world with teachers of this calibre in every subject. At least he left behind some videos that can enlighten and educate people from all over. With a paucity of great educators but left wing indoctrinators assuming the responsibility we need a library of all the best( empirically) lectures to counteract the effects of the current system.

[@mendellauron1614]

WHAT PLATFORM OR TOOL DID HE USE FOR THIS DATA VISUALIZATION & STORYTELLING? ANYONE PLEASE?

[@rainwave5]

7:20 around here would one say this is just an overall Kernal density plot in the background with the more granular ones for different countries in front?

[@rainwave5]

Well they're stacked so it's more like a stacked KD plot

[@rainwave5]

Nvm that's a stacked area chart for sure

[@danielprytz]

R.I.P Dont know much about you Hans but I know youve eduacted many people so that is why I want you to Rest in Peace

[@Pianofy]

Search on google for 'gapminder'

[@callmejohnnylovecreator6042]

Which are the websites or tools that he is pointing towards that people here says now exists? Where can I find reliable statistics, please?

[@defencetalk7260]

Nice....

[@krollpeter]

Why is Tailor Swift and Britanny Swears celebrity. Not Hans Rosling?

[@ucdsabrina]

What software did he use? Does anyone know?

[@nasusanus]

pornhub

[@dejdej333]

ucdsabrina he developed it. Most likely.

[@matthewsung3014]

It's on his website, Gapminder.

[@ZweGorgeous]

brilliant

[@SibyVarghesecherian]

Anybody know what tools is he using to present with animations?

[@franssinatra3789]

how to present that stats ? what software did mister hans rosling use ?

[@deepikap209]

[@yannismaroufidis3103]

Child mortality rate decreased due to improvement in the health care sector through the years, not only relative to amount of money governments spend in public health. This should be considered too.

[@razitambosi5153]

What type of software he's using ???

[@sails3538]

I would love to know if these numbers were adjusted to inflation. The incredible inflation over this period would push all countries to the right of the gragh.

[@melissamoore6539]

Damn..... I love stats.

[@Phoenixspin]

What software is this?

[@prajwal7356]

I literaly stood up and claped after end of this talk

[@mendellauron1614]

WOW AMAZING ...

[@lucusinfabula]

Roughly 70% of our World is marine; technological development of the offshore marittime technology is a fulcrum and the extent to which we are able to provide governance outposts (permanently staffed installations) the lever. 'Tera-gram' kelp installations can subsidize livestock fodder and soil fertility outright (fertilizers and soil ammendants).

[@jmitterii2]

Does he go out to further than 2003?

[@shae394]

jmitterii2 he presented this in 2006 i believe

[@HediumS]

Tajikistan in Eastern Europe? 11:09 He put country from central Asia and country from central Europe into Eastern Europe.

[@GlenCocopuffs]

You can see the data set is labeled Central and Eastern Europe and the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States). CIS includes Tajikistan and the grouping seems to stem from the decades-long affiliation of these various states with the USSR.

[@ByronC900]

Sherdog War Room brought me here.

[@ingeborgsjon]

It's a myth that we need more people. Professor Jan Ekberg summarizes it very well in "Arbetskraftsinvandring hjälper inte offentlig sektor" published in DN 2009-10-04, Google and read it.

[@Mrissecool]

Jo, sant. Grejen är väl att vi inte behöver 100000 personer utan utbildning, men ingenjörer t.ex. är det brist på.

[@inamurrehman5785]

Those 49 people are statisticians.

[@RenegadeOfFunk00]

the "wealth" aspect of what he talks about may be true in some cases when adjusted for inflation as well as other circumstances, and the "health" aspect is not surprising. you would expect world health rates to go up because technology and the advancement of science naturally is increasing everywhere. i would love to see how high these numbers would be in a system that isn't based on exploitation and economic/political enslavement.

[@petitio_principii]

The alternatives have failed and fared much worse than what you descrive as exploitation and slavery. Ironically, the economic disasters involved actual slavery, rather than "we need to work so we get paid so we can eat and pay bills" slavery.

[@9fine]

how would you get UN to gather a data like that?

[@eduardopacifico7324]

Dios como llege aqui?? xd

[@MisterF_1984]

no shit Sherlock, that's what the video is about - making data accessible to the public.

Nice try, but I disagree. I'm from Africa...Nigeria to be precise....My grandma had 12 children and she lived for 103years. My grandpa 118 years. It's not the number of children people it's just having a better health care system.

[@flyingchineseman6901]

back when TED talk is actually intelligent people talking

[@markbeaudry2469]

I hate to tell you people this but except for the fancy graphics there's nothing new. Bill Gates is a computer programmer who never graduated from college so he's playing catch-up. This is first year freshman second year sophomore curriculum.

[@stawbe]

I seriously seriously wish Africa would take notes from Asia's development in the past 40 years. Evidence that it is completely possible for a continent or for nations to take control of the situations and turn their statistics around. Hope! - if we'll (Africans) be teachable.

[@bendonabendo3666]

[@dejdej333]

12:50

[@lau_dhondt]

charlatan

[@zamazalotta]

Nice graphics but the data is bullshit, on 11:16 Cuba's 2003 GDP is $5400 while actually it was $3200. And btw who cares about Cuban GDP when the average salary is ~$20/month?

[@TheHanspeter8]

+zamazalotta I think he uses the purchasing power adjusted GDP data.

[@zamazalotta]

+TheHanspeter8 Cuba should score very low on anything related to purchasing power, those people live on ration books.

[@TheHanspeter8]

zamazalotta Purchasing power is calculated based on a standardized consumer basket. You can buy 30% more with a dollar in Cuba than with a dollar in the US mainly because services are much cheaper because wages are much lower.

[@zamazalotta]

+TheHanspeter8 All I'm saying is that the Cuban "prices" are meaningless, because they are fixed by the government and they do not reflect the supply demand dynamic as they do in other places. Namely if you are in Cuba and you want to buy vegetable oil the price can be really low but there is no supply, but instead of going up (like in other places) the price just stays like that. So taking these prices and treating them as data is meaningless.

[@TheHanspeter8]

zamazalotta Ok, I won't argue anymore I have better things to do but I know that the prices are fixed by the government and I know that his may lead to less than optimal economic development which is already reflected in the GDP. I am getting annoyed I am sorry to be dismissive but I find your lack of understanding for the purchasing power adjusted GDP value and the concept behind it stupid.

[@rodrigojanini1947]

hes a legend but this is too boring

[@rodrigojanini1947]

[@planeshaperman]

This turns into a much more pessimistic narrative when you incorporate the total population sizes of these poor countries per year into the graphics.
