Watch this wonderful TED Talk by David McCandless if you want to know a little bit more about data visualization and infographics.

I took notes (you know me):

• “Data is the new soil.”
• sight + mind = visual + conceptual = Combining two languages, enhancing one another.
• Nominal vs. Real numbers – Relativity gives a better perspective.
• “Let the data set change your mindset.”
• Data visualization = knowledge compression
• Design : Solving problems, providing elegant solutions :: Info design : Solving info problems, providing elegant info solutions
• Information problems: overload, saturation, untrustworthiness, skepticism
