Hans Rosling on Data Visualization

No Comments, May 3, 2012

I’ve seen this video a long time ago and you might of as well but I’m writing these days a book about data visualization and i remember being really inspired by this at the time i was working full time as a data visualizer for Parsons – new school. I miss that type of work so much there is something so inspiring about being an enabler. Building ads and making money is nice but building things that take data that is untouchable and make it fun and easy to read is one of the most rewarding job a person can ask for.

While the people that originally create the data tend to try to massage it and hide information and over load with information in a level that makes it impossible to understand these types of inspirational men (and women) really inspire a better world where information can’t be hidden in a long document that isn’t readable(or at least its harder to hide things).

Anyways hope you enjoy the video if its the first time you see it. !
