“The problem is not ignorance, it is preconveived ideas”

This is so worth watching on so many levels. TED had some good stuff, some not so good stuff, and some stuff that seemed good on the surface but in retrospect wasn’t that good.

This one, however, is great. Watch this for the content of Rosling’s insight. Watch this for the powerful presentation of these insights in motion graphics. Indeed this might just be the first use of motion graphics I’ve seen where the motion actually conveys insight.

Watch the video, and if you want to play with Hans’s data yourself, head over to gapminder.org for all of his fully interactive charts. You will be further amazed by both the content and it powerful presentation.
