Hans Rosling’s 200 Countries, 200 Years

Posted on by

This post provides a link to a four minute You Tube presentation about the connection between life expectancy and income.  I originally didn’t think of adding this post to the blog, and then I realized it could be a light companion to the video about nuclear explosions. 

From the description I received, “Hans Rosling’s famous lectures combine enormous quantities of public data with a sport’s commentator’s style to reveal the story of the world’s past, present and future development. Now he explores stats in a way he has never done before – using augmented reality animation. In this spectacular section of ‘The Joy of Stats’ he tells the story of the world in 200 countries over 200 years using 120,000 numbers – in just four minutes. Plotting life expectancy against income for every country since 1810, Hans shows how the world we live in is radically different from the world most of us imagine.”

I don’t know how famous Hans Rosling is, but his video will challenge those who have the opinion math can never be fun.
