Graphs illustrate change, right? So why have we been viewing graphs one at a time on the web for so long?
Hans Rosling is a global health expert and 'data visionary'. He caused a sensation at GOVIS 2007 with his brilliant animated statistics. He presents with the urgency of an auctioneeer and the passion of a preacher. Dynamic graphs, dynamic speaker.
Rosling's Gapminder Foundation has developed free software that can show decades of change happening in front of our eyes. Impressed, Google got involved, and offers the software free. Good stuff for web content! (Won't work on paper.)
