FlowingData explores how statisticians, designers, computer scientists, and others are using data to help us understand more about ourselves and our surroundings.
The money you spend, how much you exercise, the time you waste, and the personal information you enter are all data. In addition to the data that you yourself produce, it's also generated by the environment, sports, government, entertainment, and plenty of other interesting fields.
We can use this data to understand more about ourselves and our surroundings as well as drive change. With this in mind, how can we help people realize the importance of the data around them? How can we use statistics to find meaning in our data? How can we provide and visualize this information to motivate action?
FlowingData explores these questions and highlights how statisticians, computer scientists, designers, and others are finding answers.
