Toby Ng - The World of 100
Have you ever asked yourself, what would the World look like as a small community of 100 people? Probably not. However, it is something to think about, as the reality would be startling - as much as you’d think so, the village would only have 7 computers, and only 1 person in the World Village would be educated at University level.
These facts are something that designer Toby Ng has thought about very carefully, and turned the results of his findings into a series of twenty infographics depicting ‘The World of 100’. Although aesthetically beautiful, with sharp lines and bold, vibrant colours, these infographics are often horrifying.
The posters look as though they have come straight out of a children’s book; is this to mirror the naivety of those that are most likely to be looking at them on their computers?
“Look, this is the World we are living in.”
- Toby Ng

This is so relevant. I was at a UN Youth Declaration in Auckland for the last 4 days and one night we had a hunger banquet. We drew a slip of paper randomly with a country on it. Those with first world countries like America and Britain got pizza and as mush food and room as they wanted while other, middle of the range countries got sandwiches and tables. I was in the third world countries group. We were forced into a pen made of tables so there was barely enough room to move and given a slice of bread for dinner. People were laughing and joking about being like District 12 and we even staged an uprising, but the truth is that it’s a serious issue, the inequalities in the world. Our Youth Declaration to our government addressed it to a certain extent, but it felt awful to only get that bread for dinner. The banquet was well intentioned, but the difference is that I was able to go home and have salmon pasta, whereas people in the countries on our slips of paper couldn’t, in fact, in many cases they probably would have been lucky to get that slice of bread. We need to become more aware and do something about hunger. It seems like a huge thing, but even just telling someone about it, reminding your friends that there are people going to bed hungry every night. Even writing a letter to your local representative or asking your school to donate to the Red Cross can make a difference. It’s the doing nothing that is difficult, I find, once you know that what you do could make a difference.

Sojourner Truth (1797-1883): Ain’t I A Woman?
Delivered 1851Women’s Convention, Akron, Ohio
“Well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter. I think that ‘twixt the negroes of the South and the women at the North, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon. But what’s all this here talking about?
That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain’t I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain’t I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man - when I could get it - and bear the lash as well! And ain’t I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother’s grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain’t I a woman?
Then they talk about this thing in the head; what’s this they call it? [member of audience whispers, “intellect”] That’s it, honey. What’s that got to do with women’s rights or negroes’ rights? If my cup won’t hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn’t you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full?
Then that little man in black there, he says women can’t have as much rights as men, ‘cause Christ wasn’t a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.
If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back , and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them.
Obliged to you for hearing me, and now old Sojourner ain’t got nothing more to say”.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3eg45wj2k1rue1ifo1_500.jpg)
