We live in a period of time called The Information Age. Advances in technology allow us to present and view data in new and creative ways
Hans Rosling has developed a way of displaying data about world health, wealth, education and a variety of other statistics in a highly interactive and dynamic way. In this TED talk, Rosling talks about and illustrates the way that health and wealth of countries have changed over time.
Rosling's website, gapminder.org includes Gapminder World, a dynamic program that allows visitors to choose what world data is displayed on the graphs.
