Hans Rosling at Zeitgeist Europe 2007

who the hell is the camera man and the editor of this video.....

[mBrooks95]

Ffs i stopped watching this excellent presentation due to the inability to view hans' hard work with stats due to the camera mostly focused on his face for 30 seconds a time, presentation 5 seconds a time

[azulselene]

Could this presentation be repeated with a good cameraman? one that understans students are interested in the blackboard, particularly in a presentation that uses visual devices

[WTucker999]

WHY was the camera on Prof Rosling's face during the times he was commenting on the illustrations? Excellent speaker, fascinating subject - totally ruined by inept camera work.

[kooksskateshop]

i was hoping that the lady doing the into into Han's speech could say "uh" a few more times

[jerramy]

Download free from Torrentz the documentary The Money Masters - it explains very clearly how international bankers gained control of America. It is the best doc I have seen that shows how the banking system works in controlling the worlds economy and manipulating the economies of entire nations. It was made in 1996 and in its conclusion it predicted, almost prophetically, the recent Wall Street crash, the world economic crash, right down to housing foreclosures. It was deliberately engineered!

[jerramy]

...The bank then owns his business and "charitably" allows him to stay on as an employee on a fixed salary while the bank reaps all the profits and calls the shots about how the business is run. By taking "loans for profit"out of the equation, it is proved that poverty can be cured. But I don't know how long the banking system will allow this to continue.Too much money involved. America alone owes banks trillions just on the interest payments. Loan sharks plain and simple! What a scam!

[jerramy]

The loan sharks in this village with the women's successful yet unprofitable cottage industries are a small scale example of loan shark banks worldwide. Take an entrepreneur whose success has led him to expand.He goes to the bank to get a loan so he can buy the equipment etc, and because of his success, he knows he can pay the loan off quickly.Then the loan shark (bank) increases the interest payments steadily until he cant pay anymore. (continued)

Horrible, horrible videography. I want to see the data he presents. Not his face!!!!!

[Skwiggs102]

bad edit job, he was introduced as making dry statistics entertaining but the camera stayed on him not on his presentation.. which is what this guy is known for... sure he's just useign gapminder BUT his message is beign missed by how often the editor decided that every shot be of Hans.. This video does injustice to his message..

[jonmahoney04]

Awesome. Thanks for the video. :-)

[anotherelvis]

When I look at 15:45 I still see an economic gap in the world. But I agree that it is decreasing.

[anotherelvis]

Talk starts at 3:30

[msal8172]

Interesting talk by Hans Rosling, with the STUPIDEST videography I've ever seen; the scene switches away from the actual data to

see Hans's unchanging enthusiastic facial expression that provides no data. Awful!

Is this one of those automated lecture halls?

Simply leaving the camera on the data screen would have worked better.

[punkyrubberducky4]

I agree, it makes it hard to visualize the data and understand what he's referring to when the camera is on him reading his screen and clicking his mouse and talking about what the graphs are doing, when we can't even see the graphs!!

[LeedansParis]

He does the exact same talk for TED Talks which has much better production.

[cronispussy]

If you only look at the presentation, you are maybe like Chimp in IQ...

Listen what he says..not how he says it..

Sorry for your incompetens...

[punkyrubberducky4]

Some people are visual learners, some are hands-on, and some are better when they hear things. I am a visual learner, therefore, I need to see those graphs, and that, therefore, does not make me incompeteNT, it just means we have different learning styles.

And thank you to LeedansParis, I will check it out there.

[adewulf]

what language are we to use?

[cdtavijit]

it is fascinating to see how he makes statistics beautiful. I specially liked his ted video more. and I believe he is one of those people who really want to make a difference.

[kathleenvh]

omg go singapore!

this is nice to know - i also liked what he said about bangledesh being like the US in the 60s...but the poor countries, they dont get free trade?

[ladulaser]

They pretty much remain poor due to warlords wanting to control everything wihtin "their" countries. Like Mugabe and those guys, they tell their people that foreign corporations are just out to fool them. Which has been true in some cases ofc, but nowhere near 50 or even 25 percent of all cases.

[Skyldig84]

Of course not. The US, Europe, China, Japan...they're all oppressors towards these countries for their own gain.

[magetoo]

His TEDtalks presentations 2006 and 2007 give a much better view of the graphics. Look for "debunking myths about the third world" and "watch the end of poverty", respectively.

[lwj01998]

A very interesting presentation.

[TheFunnybone]

more like hans dick

[svanegmond]

Those who haven't seen it yet -- check out tools. google. com / gapminder , you can do your own research using a similar interface.

[simple11q]

I wish I had a professor like that.

[sittingdutchduck]

The professor basically informed us that the US and Worldbank are whiping their butts with present (fair) statistical information and continue their (appearantly unfair) policies despite information... therefor it will take more than just nice presentations to get them going.

[heoTheo]

intresting stuff.... the technologie behind the stats are amazing! :D It does picure a very happy world.

I think we should always strave perfection. it can always be better.
