Death by Terror: Strange Big Data
The world is a mass of mystery and peculiarity, some of which happens organically, some human-induced. As weird as things may seem, data virtualization can turn them into beautiful works of art, and even make better sense of things for the common people. In this infographic, for example, called Death by Terror, Good.is managed to comprehensively present terrorism attempts and successes in the US since 1970. They are running horizontally from left to right, matching years with the number of dead people (and naming prominent people that had become casualties) and other human fatalities involved.
There’s also an infographic detailing how much it costs for a person to die. These days, it’s only practical to keep track of the budget, even of issues as sensitive as mortality. Though death is one of those issues we’re all anxious about, analyzing the facts will help prevent drawbacks in the future for yourself and those around you. Nothing is too sensitive when it comes to practicality.
Data architects also managed to visualize the nexus among scientific paradigms, and the image turned out to be a beautiful yet strange piece of art. At first glance, it may not make sense, but looking into it closely with background on scientific paradigms, it’s an ingenious example of how science relates to patents and vice versa. Data visualization blurred the line that set off the rivalry of the two fields.
Bottom line, all data can be visualized, even weird things found in airport security. People do their share of eccentricity as they bring along exotic and prohibited things when they go home. Some of which were brought purpose, some inadvertently, but nevertheless, they make for a good infographic that data architects can develop.
Indeed, the facts and figures are convenient to the eyes and mind when visualized, and it’s easier to draw conclusions and predictions out of them.
