Hans Rosling's 200 Countries, 200 Years, 4 Minutes - The Joy of Stats - BBC Four

More about this programme: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00wgq0l
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.

@breezeman199 Yes, oppression and exploitation from colonial powers has very little to do with it. I mean, running countries dry from their resources while at the same time fuelling internal conflicts to keep the oppression would have nothing but a diminutive effect.

Since the DATA in this video is a fallacy you cannot draw any conclusions from it whatsoever.

Hans Rosling, go vaccinate yourself.

Look at all those interesting oscillations in the life expectancy of certain countries in the 19th century.

We must remember folks, 2 things:

1) A bucketload of the "data" is just pure speculation as systematic, comprehensive scientific data pooling of large national populations is a relatively recent thing (like maybe 100 years).

2) The "income per person" is just GDP/population. This doesn't mention distribution of wealth, thus a relatively high up nation could have millions starving.

Awesome animation, and a great presentation to boot!

The video shows an incredible way to show statistics faster. Reflects the work of a group of professionals, the tool is really useful for a popular use in the future. The system is interesting because a lot of statistic numbers can be summarized in a graph with not complex programming and many numbers in points can be moved interactively. The points are interactive and reflect average numbers, that can be divided in many other data including information

Does Hans have an interactive version of his charts?
