Gapminder - FACTANK!

Today I wanted to revisit Gapminder saying that it has now been refreshed and it is still an incredible tool.

For those who never saw my posts talking about Gapminder I will do a small description. It is basically a fantastic tool that provides, in a very user friendly way, the capability for you to see how the world "develoment indicators" have evolved throughout time. For example you can compare the income per capita versus the life expectancy and see how the different countries have evolved since the 1800s.

Getting the point?

I don't know how accurate the data is and if you can actually rely on this tool for sociological, economical or other kind of university analysis, but it might help! This non profit venture was started by Hans Rosling, University Professor, but it is now part of Google.

Well just pop up into their site and have look!
