Minding the Gap
As discussed at breakfast with Mike, Adam and Mark this morning, this man’s mission is to change the world by dispelling preconceived notions we hold about WE and THEM (Western World vs. Third World).
He’s doing this by making world demographic data available and giving it life in stunning visual time-sequences, and by teaching through presentations like this one (played during a break at my WOPR software performance testing conference during a break yesterday).
Fairly interesting little talk, there. Only argument I might make is that he talks a little fast, so it can be hard to follow him sometimes. Still, interesting!

Very interesting talk. I find it thought provoking that he’s so focused on getting the data accessible, not on the “so what?” of the data.
