Infographics is a new term for me although pictures, symbols, nd more things have been used for years to take a complex situation or a lot of information and reduce to that one still gets the needed information in a clear, organized, and interested mannet. With this method, more people's attention can be gathered so you give the information desired. Infographics is a more simple way to help get facts, figures, and statistics across to one's audience.
In the pictures with the computers, it shows the top 5 computer companies by consumers. It was very interesting to learn that apple and gateway were in the lead. Most surprising to see that Dell was second to last with a big margin between apple and dell. As much advertising as dell does, I thought it would have been in the lead. This infographic made me more cursious to find out why so many consumers were investing the the other brand name computers.
The picture asking the question are you happy is straight to the point. There are many things in our life that we have control over and several things we do not. At the end of the day, we either will choose to deal with what is going on and change it or live with it. It truly up the individual to search within oneself and choose to leave things the way they are or say no I do not like and decide whether you will change it or not.
I think that infographics are a great way to present information and data, but some are a little too crowded with information. Some are relatively hard for students to grasp. I think that choosing ones that are age/content appropriate would best be benefical for student use.
