Hans Rosling

Today we watched a four minute video about demographic transition with a smart Globalization Health Swedish man named Hans Rosling. He had a cool piece of technology in the video where he showed a chart, with the x-axis being the income and the y-axisbeing the lifespan, how countries and nations have grown since the industrial revolution. The chart showed the progression of the industrial revolution's impact and how the lifespan and income of these places increased over the decades. When World War I and II were shown, several countries fell and rose back up several years later. It was an interesting video and I did like the technology Hans used, it definitely made the video seem more modernized than it actually being made in 2009, rather than 2020 or something. I did look up Hans Rosling and discovered that he died on February 7, 2017 due to pancreatic cancer caused by Hepatitis C he was diagnosed with when he was twenty years old.
