El gusto de la Estadística.

Dado que somos seres visuales, para nosotros, una imagen verdaderamente puede decir más que 1000 palabras. Si eso es cierto, imagina entonces cuanto puede decirnos una animación? talvez una gran historia? Hoy comparto uno de mis vídeos favoritos, donde el Doctor Hans Rosling (QDEP), nos muestra la historia reciente de la humanidad, mediante la visualización de datos.
