If you’re like me, you enjoy reading facts and figures about various countries. While sitting down to do this may sound rather monotonous, the Economist.com has a rather novel way of feeding you this information in small doses. Its offering a free screen saver that provides all this data with a graphical rotating globe.
The Economist Screensaver is a treasure trove of fascinating data on 66 of the world’s major economies. Drawing on the 2007 edition of the bestselling “Pocket World in Figures”, it presents facts and figures on population, demographics, the economy, society, health and education around the world. The screensaver also features a ticker displaying the headlines of new articles published on Economist.com, as well as some of the witty one-liners used in The Economist ’s renowned advertising campaigns.
