Absolutely Fabulous Presentation Video (20min 35sec): Debunking Myths About "Third World". With the drama and urgency of a sportscaster, Prof. Hans Rosling uses software from Gapminder and 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.
