I liked this quote from the first video: “Let the data set change your mindset." The quote stood out to me because of how true it was. Data can change your mind about an issue because it is very hard to argue with facts. How the data is displayed can also be powerful. Putting statistics in perspective can make it easier to understand, but the person making the graphic picks how the data is put into perspective. For example, two graphic designs could display the same data but sway in different ways because of how that data is displayed. In terms of our product, I think we should try to be aware of how the graphics make people feel about the data.
