Four Minutes on Human Development — provided by the BBC; Hans Rosling explores stats in an unusual but fascinating way that allows the viewer to watch 200 countries develop over the last 200 years in just four minutes. He takes viewers through the Industrial Revolution, Spanish flu, two world wars and the HIV epidemic in Africa as he covers life expectancy and wealth using 120,00 numbers in his ongoing “Joy of Stats” project. The experience begins in 1810 and shows viewers exactly how different the world is compared to what we imagine it to be. (John Size, Dailybrew.com)
