Hans Rosling 7, The good news of the decade? We're winning the war against child mortality (script)
Summary
Measuring accurate number leads to knowing and solving problems. The speaker and the United Nations have cooperated for ten years to create a true data about child mortality. It made a wonderful bubbles' graphs including African data which has never ever seen.  Before 1977, in Africa, even in Kenya didn't have a system to write the death certificate at the death of the child. Thus, the interviews were done to survey. The highly professional female interviewers who sit down for one hour with  each African woman  and ask her about her birth history. How many children did you have? Are they alive? If they died, at what age and what year? This survey is costly, but it has good quality.
Accurate data would help to decrease child mortality. Vaccination and some investments also helped it and the wonderful effect was to  improve  female literacy. Each country has a different policy but the speed that some African countries can decrease child mortality will be slow though it's fully possible for all of these countries to get child mortality down.
Our next goal is to stabilize the world population. Increase population too much leads to likely terrible climate crisis. While getting child mortality down and improving female education, the world should tackle our next goals to get the good life for people in the world.

Hans Rosling 6, Global population growth, box by box

TED@Cannes 2010 Jun
Hans Rosling 6, Global population growth, box by box (script)
Summary
In 1960, the world population was three billion. Now in 2016  it grew up to seven billion. It's because the developing countries are given water, vaccination, education and some investments. They would use the aid well. Child mortality was really down. We think it's speed is too fast. Population growth will lead to other problems that are lacking food, energy  and using energy too much will lead to climate change.
Decreasing child mortality is a good thing. Precious lives are saved. We have to raise their skill up the places where the population isn't increasing  during those problems will be being solved. The developed countries should be good models  and help them before the world population is nine billion.  It's a very important role for people in the blue box.

Hans Rosling 5, Asia's rise — how and when

TEDIndia 2009 Nov
Hans Rosling 5, Asia's rise — how and when (script)
Summary
We really knew the graphs used colorful bubbles, because this is a fifth TED stage of the speaker. He prepared the special one for this audience in India and he explained how and when Asia has grown. Especially, India, China and Japan have the key of Asia's growth. The United States and the United Kingdom have been richer since 1858. Asian countries also tried to grow. However, the important sources are war, health means to spread some diseases, climate and inequalities means to be dominated by other countries. In India and China, big population continues. If they can avoid those bad influences, the world will be equal. They can catch up the richer countries.
We're looking forward to this TED stage in 2048 when he is one hundred years old, because he said that statistician can predict about the past though it's difficult about the future.

Hans Rosling 4, Let my dataset change your mindset

TED@State 2009 Jun
Hans Rosling 4, Let my dataset change your mindset (script)
Summary
The speaker spent 20 years  to elucidate in Africa and he collected many kinds of its data. Thus he strongly said that you can't explain the world by dividing into the developing countries and the industrialized countries. It means that in the world, there are two types of countries where in a long life in small family and a short life in a large family.  Nowadays, the areas that are called the developing countries are rapidly growing every year more than you think. Its speed is faster than your countries. It's because the developing countries are given water, vaccination, education and some investments. They would use the aid well. Child mortality was really down and they would start to apply family planning. Entrepreneurs also started working there. Those were happening not only in Africa but Asia.
He showed us those things by using bring proud of the graph he made  that is appearing colorful bubbles. While using the  mic stand to point at important part in this graph, he said those countries were completely different from the developing countries we think.
However, there were the countries collapsed and there are in war. There are still suffering people to live  in poverty.
Can your data update? And then, from now our aids should concentratedly deliver to this important area.

Hans Rosling 3, Insights on HIV, in stunning data visuals

TED 2009  Feb
Hans Rosling 3, Insights on HIV, in stunning data visuals (script)
Summary
HIV is a virus that gradually attacks the immune system, which is our body’s natural defence against illness. If a person becomes infected with HIV, they will find it harder to fight off infections and diseases. The virus destroys a type of white blood cell called a T-helper cell and makes copies of itself inside them. The most common way for someone to become infected with HIV is by having sex without a condom.  You can also risk infection by using infected needles.
HIV spread in 1983 in the world. Many people have a prejudice that HIV spread in only Africa. This is wrong thoughts. Although there are some countries which the rate that HIV infected people is the highest in the world in Africa, there are countries which are the same rate as the United States. Brazil, Iran, India and Southeast Asia are higher rate but there is one part that is the highest rate in Africa.
Even if you'll be infected with AIDS from HIV, you don't die of AIDS if you're treated properly for ten or twenty years. However, its treatment costs too expensive for poor people to continue caring. They will die. The key to ending the epidemic is to teach protecting this disease more.
We'd put money down not to continue caring but we wouldn't understand where and why to spread. We have to use not only heart and money but the brain more to solve this problem. First, you must see true data. This is the stunning data he made free of charge and his explanation that he showed his wallet was more remarkable.

Hans Rosling 2, New insights on poverty

TED2007  Mar
Hans Rosling 2, New insights on poverty (script)
Summary
The seemingly impossible is possible. The most important thing is in another place.
When we use some data, the speaker said three important things on previous TED talk. One is that the statistics of the world have not been made properly available. Thus we have the old mindset is second.  Our common sense tells us that we think about the world has two types of countries that are developing countries and industrialized countries, is wrong. This is third.
There are dimensions of development. Many true data are needed though we have to know that the country's government and the law function it made. Then health, education and human rights are important. However, it's not strong. The most important thing is culture. It'll lead to all kinds of things. The speaker showed about poverty this time. This year is 2016. It has been over almost ten years since that. Have we been changed?

Hans Rosling 1, The best stats you've ever seen

TED 2006
Hans Rosling: The best stats you've ever seen (script)
The speaker Hans Rosling stands on the TED stage 10 times. This is the his first talk.  I'm looking forward to reading how his talks will develop in the future.
Summary
Although this talk was spoken 10 years ago, I couldn't feel this old. The speaker says that we are not ignorant but we have preconceived ideas, when we see any data. We want to know what we don't know much. Even policy makers and corporate sectors also want to know for their businesses, thus they are searching many data. However, in fact, the true data which the United Nations, national statistical agencies, universities and also non governmental organizations have are hidden. No public data we now use are taken some nourishment down from it but it was put prices and unnecessary processing. Nowadays, it is no meaning to use the average data of the countries, because there is a lot of difference within countries.
He said that it's not the public's and especially there is no data showed about changing in the world. I think that all of it will be like that. We always see them and algorithms are repeated then we have  prejudiced thinking.
In our world, the Internet is coming. The number of Internet users is going up and it will help the economy of the countries. He works to open public data and to connect between its data and design to be able to easily use what you want data. If a search function is added and everybody can get it out in the world freely, we will be able to look at many data in completely new ways. The best stats we've ever seen will be shown. The Internet has already come into our world. Unless it should be done, the world problem will not be solved. No, no, we can't know true problems also but we can't read the future precisely.
This talk reminded me of Chris Jordan's TED talk: Turning powerful stats into art. In his talk, the data really gave me a shock also.
