Data Statistics Worth Understanding




Hans Rosling, data guru, explains how population and lifestyles have changed over the last 60 years and projects into the next 40 years. He does a wonderful talk titled "Population growth explained with IKEA box" and produced by TED.

He ends the talk with, "The role of the old West in the new world is to become [part of] the foundation of the modern world--nothing more, nothing less. But it's a very important role. Do it well and get used to it."
