Wowzers! That video by Hans Rosling shows some amazing insight into what statistics can show us when used properly. He mentioned that the world is flattening, and after watching that video, I would have to agree. Yeah, there's still a long way to go, but we're moving there very quickly...

From Prof. Brouns' online ED135 class (also taking Music 115 and History 103 online)
Which...by the way, the online classes like Prof. Brouns' are the bomb. Being able to interact with a bunch of students are share thoughts and ideas about topics like this video is awesome. Get in one if you aren't already.
