Spread the word, it is free to watch on youtube and it will change your vision of the world and it’s future.

What got me hooked was this mind boggling presentation from Hans Rosling about the conception of poverty and how presenting data can change your perception.
Weekly I try to keep up with all the talks. It is a great way to learn to see the world differently.
