Please check out the following links: Debunking third-world myths with the best stats you've ever seen http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/hans_rosling_shows_the_best_stats_you_ve_ever_seen.html New insights on poverty and life around the world http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/hans_rosling_reveals_new_insights_on_poverty.html There are three reasons for posting this message: 1) to challenge Mathematica 7 gurus to produce an equivalent tool (look at the videos) for the dynamic display of data, 2) a request to include these poverty data in Mathematics WWW data sets (if they are not yet there), and 3) to make the mathgroup list aware of the TED talks site. --V.
