Hans Rosling: No more boring data: TEDTalks

Back


With the drama and urgency of a sportscaster, statistics guru Hans Rosling uses an amazing new presentation tool, Gapminder, to debunk several myths about world development. Rosling is professor of international health at Sweden's Karolinska Institute, and founder of Gapminder, a nonprofit that brings vital global data to life. (Recorded February 2006 in Monterey, CA.)

Je trouve ce qu'il dit tout à fait captivant sans vraiment comprendre comment il en arrive a de telle conclusion. Certain l'appelle menteur mais sans vraiment expliquer pourquoi et comment ils en arrivent à une telle conclusion. Je sais qu'il faut avoir un esprit critique et ne pas accepter tout ce qu'on nous présentent comme un absolu.

he's just another of those modern propagandists that just tell about positive changes and don't mention anything about the negative changes. of course people like him. but he is a liar.

if you actually listen, he doesn't say that everything is good, he just shows us data, and it SEEMS that the statistics he analyses have changed for the better, but statistics alone are never an entire view of the world as it is. Make some intelligent constructive criticism next time.
