I shed a tear when he said this. "This is the magic. You load the laundry, and what do you get out of the machine? You get books."

Yesterday Hans Rosling passed away, and I wanted to see this masterpiece of him again. It war a great joy. RIP

I remember watching his videos back in my freshman year of High School. This video hold a special place in my mind.

I am so grateful that I discovered this video while studying the UN e-waste course. I laughed and shed tears. His presentation was very touching and powerful!

This presentation impressed me much. It has combined popular knowledge and scientific knowledge. The structure of conveying the information has been very clear.

How is this the first time I have heard this person???? I love him!

I just watched this as part of my course and came to find it on youtube. So so sad to hear this wonderful man has passed.

"Thank you industrialization. Thank you power station". I will miss Hans Rosling.

RIP Hans Rosling. My fave presentation among so many great ones. Thank you for touching my life and mind, and making me a better educator and public health professional/researcher.

"Even the hardcore in the Green Movement use washing machine." LOL! And I just made that argument 2 days ago - I will live off the land, but I need electricity for a washing machine.

Damn I love Hans Rosling. His talks are so freaking awesome.

It reminds me of 'Song of the South' by the country band Alabama: "Daddy got a job with the TVA* He bought a washing machine and a Chevrolet" *Tennessee Valley Authority, which amongst other things generated hydro-electric power and electrified the South. A good example of the interaction between democracy ("Mr Roosevelt was gonna save us all"), industrial development, and the emergence of the affluent society.

It's not so much a complicated topic. We all I think understood it with Hans' assistance. It's just that _most_ experts like to cloak their "topic" in complication so that they can make pronouncements to the great unwashed who are expected to merely obey and not ask difficult questions.

Prof. Rosling is on a roll. Always worth watching.

He's got so much of this nordic vibe in him. :)

utterly touched and thanks for showing us the inequality for energy consumption, a big question we have to answer in the process of pursuing sustainability

Hans Rosling is indeed a prophetic speaker ; one of very unmeasurable values but perfectionary vision

Great speech! What a man Hans Rosling

i love presentations by Hans Rosling...he always comes prepared with real data and always is concerned about the future....plus he's pretty entertaining :D

This guy knows how to captivate the audience. Delightful to watch.

This is why I'm subscribed to TEDtalks. I could give less than a hoot about so many of the other speakers they seem to be presenting recently.

As usual, Hans Rosling delivers awesomeness.

Thank you. We miss you very much.

Hans Rosling is the only person who's talks I really look forward to :)

One point worth making that Hans didn't mention in this talk, is that what we above the "airline" should help facilitate for those below the "washline". Sure, 1 washing machine pr household is convenient for us, but the price of purchase takes them out of the range of those in the bracket with electricity but below the "washline", even though many of them can afford to run them. Large (20-50kg+? payload) communal washing machines for groups of households makes sense. It's the economics of scale.

I have great respect for Hans Rosling.

Im an engineer, and Rosling might have been the finest presenter of tech innovation, as it impacts the world, I’ve ever heard. If I may: one more dimension needs a way into that excellent graphic on population, who uses energy energy, and std of living. As it stands, the graphic only shows what people *use*. Those airplanes, wash machines, power plants are *all* begin from the actions of the high energy consuming group on the right, including ie Rosling’s perceptive analysis, something to consider before chopping them down.

@Mrmoc7 rest assured... every talk by Hans Rosling is a Gem....!! enjoy.

I love seeing "Hans Rosling" in my subscription box.

This is the best Ted talk I ever seen. 😍

From the first few second I can tell this guy is going to be awesome.

Best TED talk ever.

Nice guy, awesome talk.

excellent!!

Hi, I'm from São Paulo! Muito bom mesmo! Yeah!

When he talks about how even Grandmother came to watch the machine, I find it vaguely disturbing to hear the low laughter among the audience. Oh I understand it I guess... the source of humor they felt was because someone was so amazed by something the audience finds so ordinary. What bothers me is that they DO take such things for granted. Too many have no idea just how good they have it... and yet they think they gotta have the latest of every gadget, the newest iphone, etc that come along.

Hans Rosling returns! Yay !!

That was awesome!

I love this guy.

I'm eating this up. It's such great information. I want this guy to be my professor. o.o

This guy may just be my new hero.

I love Hans Rosling

There are a lot of comments here but some seem to miss the point...the washing machine is not the point, it is just used as an example of the way using machines gives all of us and especially women in patriarchal societies more time to spend doing things they want.

@qcontinuum514

In order to have more time doing things they want, they need to stop focusing on Socialism and start focusing on Industrial Revolution in "poorer" countries. How is it that Africa has some of the most resources, yet is so "poor"? It is the corrupt Governments in those countries, who have a sick desire of controlling the people.

@trufiend138 The "First World" nations are stifling Africa with foreign aid that holds back economic development. When Hans demonstrates in another of his lectures the rather small number of African nations that have rocketed towards "First World" conditions, they were the ones receiving no foreign aid.

Going with your example of a fuedal system should have made you realize monarchy is the height of corruption and control over a population. In reference to your mention of colonizing, many tribes in various parts of the world are still engaged in colonization, only now it is done more swiftly with consumption (instant gratification) and control of world financial systems. Colonization and enslavement, be it physical, mental, or financial, did not start with the European exploration and conquest of remote lands. If that were the case, there would not have been the reality of lands conquered by the Sumerians, Mayans, Aztecs, Incas, Egyptians, Hittites and Cushites, to name a few.

@drorjs Both fusion and fission are possible energy sources for the future, not long ago the first fusion experiment that actually yielded more energy then was put in was done. There are lots of problems to overcome though, so i dont expect the first production plant to be built before atleast 20 years goes by. Improved fission can last far longer then that.

@brennanww Not horribly complex and many of them are on youtube. Bike provides seat and gear ratio, hooked up to a large 55 gal drum onside, then a 33 gal inside that has many holes in it. Then it is a matter of hooking up the gear on the bike to the inside 33 gal drum to spin it. And your done! cut a flap on top of the 55 and 33 gal to allow entry, close lids, and peddle. I may make a slight mess, some people just put a container under it. Line dry for most efficient.
