Data Visualization Past, Present, and Future

Overview Data visualization, the use of images to represent information, is only now becoming properly appreciated for the benefits it can bring to business. It provides a powerful means both to make sense of data and to then communicate what one has discovered to others. Despite their potential, the benefits of data visualization are undermined today by a general lack of understanding. Many of the current trends in data visualization are actually producing the opposite of the intended effect, confusion rather than understanding. Nothing going on in the field of business intelligence today can bring one closer to fulfilling its promise of intelligence in the workplace than data visualization. But this will happen only if one understands it and use it properly.
