After watching Hans Rosling's presentation on statistics, I was impressed for various reasons. The presentation itself was interesting and Rosling seemed rather entertaining. Of course, that's not the important part, but rather the presentation itself.
I was rather impressed with the technology used to make this presentation. Usually I'm used to Powerpoint which is very simplistic and there's not a whole lot of fancy things you can do with it. Yet this presentation managed to pull off a whole ton of neat things that you wouldn't see in a Powerpoint presentation. What really impressed me the most was near the end when it had a small animation of all the countries moving from one "box" to the other as the years went by. When I hear the words "presentation" my mind usually goes towards some slide by slide kind of thing. However this was incredibly fluid, and even if it technically was a slide by slide thing, it was smooth and fast enough that it wasn't choppy and was very appealing and interesting to look at.
The presentation also did a great job helping hitting his point home. After all, he could have talked about everything just the same, but having the huge neat presentation behind him helped back up his points, and gave the audience something to look at. And that's something I feel is rather important. While the things were simple, just graphs and circles, it still was visually interesting because they made a point, and weren't disgusting to look at.
I really enjoyed the presentation. Watching everything flow together was really nice and it was one of the better ones I've seen.
HI,
ReplyDeleteI also found the presentation to be interesting and I also thought Hans Rosling did a great job keeping the audience involved in the presentation. I also was really impressed with the end where all the countries moved into the box as the years went by. I thought it really brought the presentation to life and felt that I really understood the message he was trying to relay in his presentation. I can honestly say I have never seen such an amazing presentation. I think that It's easier to remember what he said as well because of the way everything kind of flowed through out the whole thing.
Dmitri,
ReplyDeleteI also found the presentation to be interesting because Hans Rosling did an excellent job by describing the graphs to the audience and actually being able to keep the audience in tune with the presentation. I think that the way he presented his information was really good, I wasn't lost once. I could understand fully what he was talking about and what the graphs meant even if just looking at the graph it looked confusing. I don't think I've seen a presentation done better than he did. It was so good, that I had to show my parents and get feedback from them.
