Gapminder - World Statistics

PerritoBites · 06-07-2008, 11:13 PM

So I was looking through Ted.com videos and I bumped into this one:

He starts the video with some very interesting data about child deaths in all the countries of the world. I wouldn't have made this post if it was just a video though. There is actually a website where you can access this information: Gapminder - Home I am sure a lot of you will be interested in this website as it contains statistical data about the world in many aspects. (health, money, waste, etc...) Then you can travel through time to see how countries develop over the years and what changes occur. Basically if you want a tutorial of what the website can do just wath the Ted.com video.

Here another video that talks about C02 emissions... I couldn't embed it though, so just click on the link...

That guy seems like he would be a prof that would inspire his students.
