The magic washing machine | Hans Rosling

This man was an absolute genius.... Presenting data and making it beautiful and compelling.

Lol I have to watch this for school as a task ._.

Wow- thats- INCREDIBLE! this video and the fact that im only watching this because of homework- 😂

well hello there 🤣

excellent

the person above is WRONG

here for HuGe

Nice man. Too bad he passed away. These kind of people should live forever, because they are the ones that make humanity progress...

I've just finished his book Factfullness .. What a beautiful mind!

It’s true that the washing machine changed the world more than the Internet!

This is the best Ted talk I ever seen. 😍

Hur många är här från HKK?

I wish he was still alive. What a warm and inspiring person.

I've washed clothes by hand. Hans is correct. The machines are better.

Cackling Karens thinking this is a comedy routine while not realizing the whole point of the speech was to mock them. Spoiled western women crying about how hard they have it. Carried so far and for so long they don't even know they are being carried.

We need more of these reasonable people today !

Why the audience laughing so much?

Best TED talk ever.

we take so much for granted.

Great subject. The laughter seemed out of place.

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."

I knew this was gonna be good

So basically watching machine provides opportunity and prosperity.

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.

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

Lmfao

The good news is while climate changes all the time .. as of late it has been cooling while CO2 keeps rising so we needn't fret over mann made climate change ...
We have more time to convert to longer term solutions like fission, fusion and solar.

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.

And after the washing machine has finished is there any chance of getting a drying machine and an ironing machine to save me more time?

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

I watched this video while living in Iceland, and I'm taking notes for a bit I am writing: "He talked about the poverty line, those who live on less then $2 a day, and opposite of the poverty line he coined the "airline" which is above $80 a day -- the airline is people who can afford to travel in the air machine, the travel machine at while whenever they want, to use all the different sorts of machines of luxury "toasters, tv's, etc, etc. He then designated the "Wash line" where they consume $40 dollars a day, and they have access to washing machines. He estimated around 2 billion humans live at or above this "Wash Line" -- these estimated are from the early 2010's, things change, but not often that quickly, so likely these numbers still add up. He question was then how do those 5 billion of us living below the wash line wash their clothes?

By hand. Forget drying, how do they wash?

"They want the Washing Machine" he stated. No doubt they do. He shows his grandmother 2 generations ago washing by hand as well, then she was freed from this by the washing machine. He went on to note how when he lectures to environmentally concerned students they lecture him back with why not everyone in the world can have cars and machining machines, to save the planet.

"Even the hardcore in the Green movement use washing machine" he stated.

this is very sad

Reading his book "Factfullness" was an eye-opener. A great, visionary man, who, unfortunately, the leaders of the world ignore.

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!

What most people, especially the Western world, are getting wrong, Hans included, is they consider labour as something terrible!!! Thus, they go about replacing labour with sitting in chairs reading books, watching TV, munching, eating, over eating, pleasuring their senses, or just lounging, or getting the so-called same 'education' that has brought the world and societies to their current situation - broken!
No, all labour is not bad and must not be avoided! Body and mind both need labour, even usual chores to stay fit and balanced. Most modern 'education' provides nuisance value only ("...education ruined me....")!

Then after avoiding all labour, people (who can afford) go to run on motorized treadmills in Air-conditioned rooms with excessive lighting and blaring sounds, all run by electricity. And, they travel to these places and back burning more fuels or electricity. Yet, they avoid labour!

Genial❤

Gillar hur de pratar om Sverige

watching this for my geography book! (hodder education, anyone?)

The washing machine has done more for the liberation, progress and education of women than thousands of speeches, politicians, movements and activists.
