they usually get a picture similar to that of a boring teacher with glasses just droning away about numbers and percentages, but Hans Rosling has a way with data that made it fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With more than 14 million views on his original TED Talk in 2006, titled <em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/hans_rosling_the_best_stats_you_ve_ever_seen\" target=\"_blank\">the best stats you&#8217;ve ever seen<\/a><\/em>, and more than three million views on his video on the TED YouTube video, I wanted you to experience data through his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flashback: Hans Rosling &#8211;
