a youthful movement

a really cool infographic by the king of them - GOOD.


looks at young people who move to other countries and which % of them are educated.
the US attracts a lot of young people, but only a small percentage of them are educated (i guess i can be blamed for this as well). Compare that to Singapore which sees 3x as many educated people come in as opposed to those that want to leave.

2010: A fully functional replica was made...with Legos!
