Hans Rosling’s 200 Countries, 200 Years, 4 Minutes - The Joy of Stats. “Pretty neat, hu?”

Hans Rosling’s famous lectures combine enormous quantities of public data with a sport’s commentator’s style to reveal the story of the world’s past, present and future development. Now he explores stats in a way he has never done before - using augmented reality animation. In this spectacular section of ‘The Joy of Stats’ he tells the story of the world in 200 countries over 200 years using 120,000 numbers - in just four minutes. Plotting life expectancy against income for every country since 1810, Hans shows how the world we live in is radically different from the world most of us imagine.

The ‘Teufelsberg’ in Berlin is an artificial hill built by the allied forces from an estimated 12 million cubic meters of rubble after World War II. On top of the hill, there’s an abandoned NSA listening station, one of the first of its kind. It not only looks amazing, but it also has amazing acoustics. Listen for yourself:
