(aka everyone loves pretty pictures)
disadvantages: the visualizations may not always be clear and concise, or may not accurately represent the data in the best way possible.]]> 2017-11-08 17:38:42 UTC https://padlet.com/boserkatharina/fptxvzcr4cuf/wish/204947722 https://padlet.com/boserkatharina/fptxvzcr4cuf/wish/204947828 The Advantages: able to give a clearer picture of the different data, can easily compare the information

Disadvantages: it can be unclear, can confuse people, or may not accurately present the information causing people to interpret it wrongly ]]> 2017-11-08 17:38:52 UTC https://padlet.com/boserkatharina/fptxvzcr4cuf/wish/204947828 https://padlet.com/boserkatharina/fptxvzcr4cuf/wish/204948497
Visualizing data is easier to interpret than reading raw data. The drawback is that it is easier to interpret data incorrectly when using visual data rather than raw data.]]> 2017-11-08 17:39:58 UTC https://padlet.com/boserkatharina/fptxvzcr4cuf/wish/204948497 https://padlet.com/boserkatharina/fptxvzcr4cuf/wish/204949836 Advantage: You are able to see the big picture better and see patterns
 more clearly
Disadvantage: The visualization might miss some things so it would be difficult to read, or not all data was shown]]> 2017-11-08 17:42:03 UTC https://padlet.com/boserkatharina/fptxvzcr4cuf/wish/204949836 https://padlet.com/boserkatharina/fptxvzcr4cuf/wish/205126744 Advantages: Data can be better understood and give a more detailed depiction of the trend. 
Disadvantage: The visualization might be clear due to poor labeling and other factors. It also might be misleading because the graph is not clear and cannot be understood. Visual data might not give a clear number or percentage when using shapes and color. ]]> 2017-11-09 03:51:48 UTC https://padlet.com/boserkatharina/fptxvzcr4cuf/wish/205126744 chelapurathsi19 https://padlet.com/boserkatharina/fptxvzcr4cuf/wish/205274762 Why did Pew Research choose to make a bunch of charts and graphs rather than just showing the raw data itself?"

• Pew Research chose to make a bunch of charts and graphs rather than just showing the raw data itself so we could see any trends or spikes in the trends and analyze the reasons for the decrease or increase in a graph.
  
  
• "List a few advantages and disadvantages (at least 2 for each) of using visualizations to communicate data"
• Advantage: You will be able to see patterns or trends in the graph. It would be more easier to read a graph rather than trying to understand raw data. You will also be able to easily notice any differences or spikes in the graph.
• Disadvantages: The graphs may not always be easy to read and sometimes it could be unclear. Sometimes, the graph is not always accurate.

You can also show the data in a creative way to make people remember it. A drawback, however, is that a person may misinterpret the information if it is not represented clearly. Therefore, the wrong information will be given to the viewer.]]> 2017-11-13 00:28:37 UTC https://padlet.com/boserkatharina/fptxvzcr4cuf/wish/206059728
