Prof. Dr. Hans Rosling (Gapminder) - A Fact Based World View

European Futurists Conference Lucerne

The architecture of global statistics has not yet provided the data access needed for optimal development of information technology.
The animation technology developed for computer games is many years ahead of the technology used to convert time series statistics into easy understandable graphics.
The main trends in global health, economy and demography will be shown using animations produced by the Trendalyzer software, that constitute a first example of what can be achieved when comprehensive data merge with new information technology.

Hans Rosling is professor of International Health at Karolinska Institutet and Doctor in Stockholm, Sweden. He co-founded Gapminder Foundation. To promote a fact based world view they developed the Trendalyzer software.
