if you actually listen, he doesn't say that everything is good, he just shows us data, and it SEEMS that the statistics he analyses have changed for the better, but statistics alone are never an entire view of the world as it is. Make some intelligent constructive criticism next time.

Je trouve ce qu'il dit tout à fait captivant sans vraiment comprendre comment il en arrive a de telle conclusion. Certain l'appelle menteur mais sans vraiment expliquer pourquoi et comment ils en arrivent à une telle conclusion. Je sais qu'il faut avoir un esprit critique et ne pas accepter tout ce qu'on nous présentent comme un absolu.

he's just another of those modern propagandists that just tell about positive changes and don't mention anything about the negative changes. of course people like him. but he is a liar.

The african bubbles are hardly moving. And considering all of the left wing revolutions in South America during the decades of improvement he showed i have no idea what all these Libertarians are so happy about.

unfortunately language has actually DEVOLVED since histories earliest records of written language. languages are computational systems. and we're all born with the same capabilities to learn incredibly complex languages. but instead language has been dumbed down. check out some of noam chomsky's talks on linguistics and genetic predisposition for language either here on youtube or through p2p torrent sites. his books are very enlightening.

thats why its the most useful language in the world, because it adapts. thats basic linguistic evolution.

Excellent. THIS man deserves millions.

Replay the 18:05 mark. It's interesting how wealth distribution in the U.S. has changed. Wealth among the poorest has remained stagnant while the wealth of the middle class has grown a bit and the wealthiest has begun to break away. I don't blame an unjust society for this, lots of folks are starting families before acquiring marketable skills while the rest generally choose to only have kids they are likely to afford.

What a wonderful lecture! In today's connected world it's inconceivable to me so much information would be hidden, be it on some servers or in old dusty books. We need to liberate the data, but on the other hand, tools that can sift through it all and help us make sense of it are essential. I commend prof. Rosling on his vigor and enthusiasm for taking on some of the biggest challenges of our time.

it's only useful to know english if useful information is being conveyed in english and not some other language that you may know. and as much as english is a very simple language (only 28 letters in the alphabet, etc etc) it's also very limited. and there are constant little fixes made all the time. it would be better to learn a more complete, more widely used language as opposed to english. that's how i feel about it. and english is my mother tongue. i added german, dutch, spanish, french

Did anybody say that he should speek just English? English isn't my mother's tongue and in everyday life I speak Polish but it's very useful to know some foreign languages too. Hablo también español et je parle francais And I think that is not affecting my Polish at all.
By: qwertybaa. on 10 Aug 08, 10:23:54
Awful or not, it's useful to know it. An in a matter of fact it's very easy;)
By: soulmman. on 07 Aug 08, 03:04:33
Or he could have the right to preserve his language and get the information availible in that language, how about you learn how to show some respect.
By: intrepgun. on 07 Aug 08, 00:23:14
or not. english is an awful language.
By: sjeses. on 29 Jul 08, 17:40:59
or you could learn english, like Hans Rosling did
By: cpi23. on 25 Jul 08, 16:59:33
I could listen to him for hours.
