We all know how hard it is to communicate dry statistics to somebody and I guess its not me alone who has a hard time to grasp relations between big numbers (finance crisis anyone?) – but this nice little widget is just fantastic. It amazes me every time how much creativity people have and create wonderful, entertaining and in this case even educating things. Based on multiple officially available statistics the guys from poodwaddle.com created a world clock which shows the growth and decline rates of almost everything. Some of them are more accurate than others, while almost all of them display interpolated values, of course. Its still a big joy to watch these things and some numbers really get you thinking…
