Summary
Professor Hans Rosling presents a documentary about statistics, exploring their history, how they work mathematically and how they can be used in today’s computer age to see the world as it really is. He shows how a new app mashes up police department data with San Francisco’s street map to show what crime is being reported street by street, in near real-time. While, at Google HQ, the machine translation project tries to translate between 57 languages, using lots of statistics and no linguists
