The importance of Infographics/data visualization

With infographics we're able to view stats and put them into our own perspective. The benenfits and purpose of understanding infographics is that you are able to see how extremely complex information/stats/data can be broken down into an easier way to comprehend company research. Inforgraphics are a visual summary of mass data that can now easily be shared and explained amongst other people. The majority of infographics are colorful, animated, and most infograghics contain interesting facts about an organization or company. I believe infographics of social media allows for its audience to see how their activity online connects them to people all around the world which helps the social world grow even more.The difference between infograhics and data visualization is that infographics seem more personal and data visualization are more professional
