Using state of the art 3D graphics and the timing of a stand-up comedian, world famous statistiCIAn Professor Hans Rosling presents a spectacular portrait of our rapidly changing world. With 7 billion people already on our planet we often look to the future with dread, but Rosling’s message is surprisingly upbeat. Almost unnoticed we have actually begun to conquer the problems of rapid population growth and extreme poverty.
全球范围内，即使在孟加拉国等国家，两个孩子的家庭已经成为常态，这意味着在几代人之内，人口爆炸将结束。现在，生活在极端贫困中的人所占比例比人类历史上任何时期都要少，联合国设定了消除极端贫困的目标，在未来几十年内彻底实现这一目标。在这个现场直播的工作室事件中，罗斯林呈现了统计学的壮举，包括他的“无知调查”，展示了英国大学毕业生在有关发展中国家的知识测试中会被黑猩猩超越的事实。
Across the world, even in countries like Bangladesh, families of just two children are now the norm – meaning that within a few generations the population explosion will be over. A smaller proportion of people now live in extreme poverty than ever before in human history and the United Nations has set a target of eradicating it altogether within a few decades. In this as-live studio event Rosling presents a statistical tour-de-force, including his ‘ignorance survey’ which demonstrates how British university graduates would be outperformed by chimpanzees in a test of knowledge about developing countries.
