Show Notes

Data visualization improves our ability to tell powerful stories about our understanding of the world.

Modern tools become platforms for dynamic exploration, allowing anybody to ask novel questions.

The best, like Gapminder or Our World In Data, support a strong argument of how fundamentally the human condition has improved worldwide, and effectively counter the daily drips of venom delivered by media driven by sensationalism.

As our ability to collect data explodes with the tens of billions of sensors deployed everywhere, we must also improve our constructive use of it, not only aggregating it through blind algorithms, but using it to communicate our ambitions to build a better world.
