The purpose of this discussion is to evaluate and discuss the value in using charts to visualize data. Graphs and charts are used every day though we may not think about them.

Think about a time when you utilized data visualization. This could be a time when you needed to create a chart or graph at work in order to present information, or a time in your personal life when you had to read a chart or graph in order to obtain information.

Some examples could include: in sports, using a fitness app, for sales forecasting, weather, energy bills, social media use, and television ratings.

Share with us how the data was presented. Was the data easy or difficult to read (make sure to describe why)? How would you have chosen to present the data differently?
