http://www.ted.com With the drama and urgency of a sportscaster, Prof. Hans Rosling uses software from Gapminder debunks a few myths about the "developing" world. This global health visionary has discovered a powerful new way to communicate complex data about the world; his remarkable interactive graphs help deliver profound insights about global trends and will change forever the way you think about "us" and "them." Rosling is professor of international health at Sweden's Karolinska Institute, and founder of Gapminder, a nonprofit that brings vital global data to life. (Recorded February 2006 in Monterey, CA.)

There is NO gap on the graph. A gap would mean a big mostly empty space on the graph between the rich and poor, meaning that the world has just two very distinct groups of people: the rich and the poor. The graph shows no such thing, though. There are many poor people, some rich people, and a lot of people in the middle.
