Asia shouldn’t be underestimated, it is growing so quickly that it will rival the power balance the West holds in this very generation. In this revealing video from TED India Hans Rosling depicts Asia’s Rise.
There is clearly a rise of infographics going on in the web. Just like meta data gives us information about data (data about data), infographics enhance what would otherwise be very vanilla looking graphs. Infographics appeal to humans because we are visual creatures.
In his video’s on GapMinder or TED you can see other examples of how Hans adds a new dimension of time to create dynamic infographics. The result is that he can get the data across in ways that static words and numbers can’t.
One reason for Asia’s rise is their ability to adapt. They are also very open-minded with opportunities. I have a newsletter that goes out to 80000+ people and a big percentage of it are Asians. Also, countries like China know how to use their population wisely.

Asians have a lot of great potentials whne it comes to different fields. In fact, some of the most well-known people are Asian. And I’m proud of them.
