A Visual Journey into Global Development…


“The seemingly impossible is possible” - and then watch me shock the audience in the end… Hans Rosling is back!

TED 2007 has released its latest video of Hans Rosling’s (of Gapminder.org) visual journey / talk on global health and economic development. Nearly one year after his web-famous TED 2006 talk which highlighted the incredible shifts in average incomes and health around the world between 1950-2005- Hans is back! (Same message, new data, new software - and just as entertaining and engaging….!!)

For those interested in a very fresh look at current conditions related to global development and future market dynamics around global demographics - this should not be missed… (Favorite quote: ‘There are not two types of nations - developed/undeveloped’… ‘there are two hundred types of nations’…’you have to look closely at the data’)
