In this five minute BBC video, physician and statistician Hans Rosling uses a clever graphical visualization to show how the world has evolved in terms of population, wealth, and lifespan in the past two centuries. It's a great example of how to condense a huge amount of information into something that can be grasped immediately.
This is part of an hour long BBC show: The Joy of Stats. A big thank you to my homie Brian for passing this along.
If you like Hans Rosling's BBC presentation, you may also be interested to see the presentations he had done at a few different TED conferences on world heath issues. Searching for his name at ted.com should bring them up.
