Hans Rosling

Hans Rosling is a witty, highly intelligent man. He can entertain an audience by bringing boring information to life. He discovered that to get people interested in a topic that is plain or important you need to find out what their preconceived ideas are on the topic. Like his speech in Monterey California on World Knowledge, he realized that the students have divided the world into two sections; the Western world, small families-long life, and the Third World, large families-short life spans. The software that he uses to prepare the graphs to communicate the data necessary are exceptional. They make the data come to life and become interesting on a very difficult topic. I think that with any data that needs to be shown to the public Hans Rosling could make the speech exceptionally interesting with his charm and unique abilities in creating graphs that move and change according to our preconceived ideas.
