Ok so these charts are really cool, but what we really want is like to be able to google statistics so it is like near zero effort. Like just search for what you want on each axis and then press one button and have this sweet detailed chart that you can play with and modify. This guy is right that the way statistics are presented is boring and tedious its really a shame.

Amazing lecture. It's too bad that, because of thath stupid bureaucracy there's no open access to that data. What the heck is statistics for, if people cannot use whole data and still have to make their own researches first?

This software could also be used to show the difference in education, between the industrialized nations, by entering the data of graduated scientists, and economic specialists, high school graduates vs drop out rates, and the such. It would be very interesting to see where the US would stack up under such scrutiny, as evident by "todaysprogramming" The US would not fare so well. This data then could be shown, to really get a better grasp of our education system in America.
