Natalie
On February 2006 Hans Rosling, a well known statistics guru, entered a stage at the TEDtalks and forever changed the way most of the people in the audience and around the world (as the video of his speech has been already seen by millions) looked at data. Developed by Rosling software does more than simply display the data - it brings them to life!
