The Gap Minder

Check out this great Google application, The Gap Minder.

The lecture posted on that Website (about 20 minutes) is well worth the watch.

The application itself is quite interesting and fun to explore. It is highly interactive and allows you to look at data over time and across countries. For eample, you can explore "Income per capita in international dollars", "Carbon dioxide emissions", "Contraceptive use among adult women", "Economic growth", "Internet users" and the "Military budget" just for example.

Have fun!
