Hans Rosling is a professor of International Health at the Karolinka Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. At TED, he presented probably one of the coolest information visualization talks you’ll ever see. He really shows what you can do when you pay attention to how you describe the story with charts.

His color commentary of the animated charts is the best. I wish I had tools to do this!

The video is about 20 minutes long, but you won’t regret watching it.
