iFixit: The free repair manual. World Statistics Presented In Augmented Reality. Wow, you know I don’t usually put videos in my articles unless they are really, really worth watching, and this one falls into that category for sure. I remember when I was at University; one of my favorite classes was Statistics. It approached the actual numbers from the perspective of an Industrial Engineer, and I loved every minute of it.
My friends and I did some serious geeking out in that class. This reminds me of that experience. As the title of this video states, it shows Hans Rosling’s brilliant interpretation of 120,000 statistics spanning 200 countries over 200 years. By showing us the “big picture” in this way, and detailing the amazing progress the world has made, he creates optimism and a smile about the future, which is refreshing.
