the most amazing data visualization I have seen EVER. Hans Rosling on TED.com

http://www.ted.com/speakers/hans_rosling.html

And to be fair, I'm including that Sixth Sense device in here. It's neat and the projector / gesture based interface is very Minority Report but if you want to take actual data and give it real impact to people you need something like the tools that Hans Rosling and his group of geniuses have devised.

I suggest that when you watch these you watch all three video's in one long set. It'll take you almost an hour but it's worth seeing. Seriously amazing. All my PowerPoints now look even more like shit.

Plus, you can see an old Swede doing sword swallowing.
