Debunking third-world myths with the best stats you've ever seen

The following video is about two years old, presented by Professor Hans Rosling, a Swedish professor and researcher at Karolinska Institutet. It was presented in Monterey, California in 2006. Using graphical animation Professor Rosling makes the concept of poverty rates, life expectancy, child mortality and necessity of making data "not boring" for the wider population accessible. I wish I had a professor like him who had similar access to contemporary technologies and so much enthusiasm in his presentation that makes learning complex subject not so "boring".

One line from his presentation is: "Improvement of the world must be contextualized".
