If you go to the http://www.gapminder.org website you will find that Hans Rosling has given a 2007 presentation to TedTalks. The one Nicholas has linked to is the 2006 presentation. The graphs are similar in this 2007 speech, but there are some great new slides on the implications of different levels of poverty in Africa on the level of household amenity and a very unexpected and entertaining finale.

Thanks for the vid and link. Visual is often best for slow monkeys like me – think I’ll email it to my local pollie!

That was fantastic. I’m on par with the chimpanzee, unfortunately.

For those whom haven’t seen the tool before and want to play with it themselves.

And it does give you an urge to project it on a big screen and conduct the development of the world like a great tragibrilliant orchestra.
