I think infographics are incredible education tools. They make information (and the larger concepts that arise from that information) easier to digest-at least they should-if they are successful infographics. They are another avenue for learning, which I think is absolutely great for society. … But, like any medium, data visualization is a medium that can be perverted. The core traits of a great infographic are is honesty, logic, and beauty. when any of those are taken out of the equation, the result can do more harm than good.
