The following data visualization has four buttons for audiences to select different years:

Last lecture we talk about the if we need to use interactive data visualization to make our point. In my opinion it depends on the case, and i do not think too much interactive things are helpful. Take the above visualization for example, the author only give four choices: 1960, 1980, 2000, 2014. Also, the data visualization has animations when user switch years. The animation plays an important role in this visualization because we can see and compare the amount changes between different majors. I find it super fun to play with this data visualization even though it has four choices.
So, my conclusion is, as long as the interactive data visualization can give use an idea about the difference between selections, it is a good visualization.
Also, I found an article about how to make interactive data visualization successful. Maybe I will table about it int the next blog post.
Great comment on when to use interactive visualization!
Much needed for next assignment preparation. for the example in the blog, if there’s more distinguished movement in one major that would be more helpful. For example distinguished color after the movement.
