Must-watch world health statistics video

[memegarden]

Amazing graphical use of statistics--sweeping changes in world health and economics over the past 50 years displayed via moving shapes. Beautifully graspable and very illuminating. Did you know that the concept of the "developing world" is obsolete? More complex and individual factors show clearly here. Edward Tufte must be very happy with this

Hans Rosling is pretty awesome, his main website is http://gapminder.org. From there you can fiddle with his graphing system and compare lots of interesting statistics. They also have videos where they interpret some of the graphs you can produce there.
