Data Visualization

Origins

Data Visualization is a style of visualizing data through graphical representations. It became prominent in the late 18th century with the development of statistical graphics by William Playfair and gained significant attention in the 20th century with the advancements in computer technology. Data Visualization aims to make complex data more accessible, understandable, and digestible by transforming it into visually compelling and engaging charts, graphs, maps, and diagrams.
