Curious about how the world has evolved since the day you were born? Life Stats has the scoop. After you enter your birth date (day, month, and year) the resource provides a personalized portfolio of data based on your life, updated in real-time. Some of the data is specific to you as an individual, estimating your blood cell production, breaths, and blinks since birth, as well as how many kilometers you have traveled around the sun. Other data explores macro-level changes, looking at the world's population and economy. Looking for a note of positivity? There is a section for that, too. Perhaps the site will reveal dramatic drops in poverty over your lifetime, or increases in literacy rates. Collectively, the data provided allows readers to explore, reflect, and appreciate the dynamics of their lifetime. "Creative coder" Neal Agarwal designed the resource using data from the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs and the World Bank, among other sources.
