And even more, policy makers and the corporate sectors would like to see how the world is changing.
此外，政策制定者，各企業(yè)部門，都會(huì)想知道世界的變化。
Now, why doesn't this take place? Why are we not using the data we have?
但為什么大家仍然不知道（世界的變化）？為什么我們無(wú)法使用已知的數(shù)據(jù)呢？
We have data in the United Nations, in the national statistical agencies and in universities and other non-governmental organizations.
我們的聯(lián)合國(guó)，國(guó)家統(tǒng)計(jì)部門，學(xué)院還有非政府組織都擁有數(shù)據(jù)。
Because the data is hidden down in the databases.
數(shù)據(jù)被隱藏在底層的數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)里。
And the public is there, and the Internet is there, but we have still not used it effectively.
而公眾在上面（太陽(yáng)），互聯(lián)網(wǎng)在這里（地平線），并未得到有效的使用。
All that information we saw changing in the world does not include publicly-funded statistics.
之前我們看到的關(guān)于世界變化的信息并不包括公眾資助的統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)。
There are some web pages like this, you know, but they take some nourishment down from the databases,
的確有一些網(wǎng)站依靠數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)的營(yíng)養(yǎng)而存在著，
but people put prices on them, stupid passwords and boring statistics. And this won't work.
但這是要收費(fèi)的，還有愚蠢的密碼和討厭的統(tǒng)計(jì)表格。這個(gè)是行不通的。
So what is needed? We have the databases. It's not the new database you need.
我們需要什么？數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)是現(xiàn)成的。不需要新的數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)。
We have wonderful design tools, and more and more are added up here.
我們有很好的視覺軟件，還將有更多的問世。
So we started a nonprofit venture which, linking data to design, we called Gapminder,
于是我們成立了一個(gè)非營(yíng)利機(jī)構(gòu)，我們稱之為“數(shù)據(jù)與圖樣的聯(lián)結(jié)” - Gapminder，
from the London Underground, where they warn you, "mind the gap."
靈感來(lái)自倫敦地鐵（他們提醒乘客“小心列車與站臺(tái)間的縫隙”），
So we thought Gapminder was appropriate. And we started to write software which could link the data like this.
因此我們認(rèn)為Gapminder很合適。而且我們制作了一個(gè)軟件，把數(shù)據(jù)和圖樣聯(lián)結(jié)起來(lái)。
And it wasn't that difficult. It took some person years, and we have produced animations.
這個(gè)并不難。需要幾個(gè)人花幾年時(shí)間，我們制作了動(dòng)畫。
You can take a data set and put it there. We are liberating U.N. data, some few U.N. organization.
你可以建立數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)。我們正嘗試解放聯(lián)合國(guó)的數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)。
