Debunking 3rd World Myths

This is a must-watch talk (20 minutes long but worth it) by the charismatic and humourous Hans Rosling, professor of global health at Sweden’s Karolinska Institute and developer of the amazing Gapminder software.

In addition to watching the video you can play with the software. You can examine all kinds of United Nations data on the Gapminder site - Income per Capita, Carbon Dioxide Emissions, Child Poverty, even Contraceptive Usage. The fantastic graphics enable you to see clearly the relationships between the various parameters and to learn what’s really been happening in world health and economics.

Hours of fun.
