If you love big crazy complicated illustrations of huge amounts of data presented in a beautiful way this post from www.bigdatanews.com writen by Data Analytics expert Vincent Granville is for you.
Vincent did a couple of google searches of complicated illustrations and posted some of the results of his queries on this post. The best thing that these graphs/pictures illustrate is the enormous complexity of information that we have generated. The complexity further is reflected in the fact that the graphs represent many different types or genres of information that we generate. When I say "we" I am referring to us as a species. Each of us just by being alive generate a considerable amount of data points collected by various government entities and our further activities of just being alive and interacting within our own cultures create data points i.e. surfing the web, using a reward card, etc. Then consider that some of us are in the business of generating further data about yet another set of huge variables. The mountain of information is like looking at the stars in the sky, limitless.
So how do we make sense of this information, well the best way is via interactive visualizations and Vince has found some of the biggest and most attractive publicly available here in this post. This further goes into how do you make a limitless view, well, more limited. Many of these graphs have a interactive component that allows the user or viewer to drill down into the the meat and potatoes of the information if they choose too. This method allows one to immediately make sense of what is ultimately a complex system and allows them to see the substituent parts that make up the data set as a whole.
Great work Mr Granville.
