gapminder.org — After watching Hans Rosling presentation @ TED ( http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/ hans_rosling_shows_the_best_stats_you_ve_ever_seen.html) , a couple of Tweets and Plurks later, I found this! Simply mind boggling!

- fdelucio, on 07/05/2008, -1/+4digg just for seeing TED in description
- calinazaret, on 07/05/2008, -0/+3That is so cool I'm going to actually digg it. Thanks Rami.
- SilverStandard, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1Very pragmatic.
- hugoguzman, on 07/06/2008, -0/+3I can't believe that there are places in the world where the average life expectancy is under 45 years of age. Very sad.
- MorganMghee, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1It is very cool! Notice how many countries with life expectancies higher. And notice the trend to fewer children per woman globally. Digg it.
- cledford, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1Maybe by the time I am old the life expectancy will be 100+
- jbenson2, on 07/06/2008, -4/+2A perfect chart to explain why there are so many illegal aliens entering the USA and why America needs to do a better job securing her borders.
- Diggnabbit, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1Incredible chart.
(And, since most people so far haven't mentioned it, I'll point the seemingly obvious: you can change what is put on the chart by selecting from a huge menu of statistics. It has all kinds of interesting demographics.) - xchrisxsays, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Single out Rwanda and watch 1990 to 1994, that should put some things into perspective.
