 If you were to visualize "data" in your mind, what do you see? 0's and 1's? Probably not. That might be a movie cliche. Tables of numbers? Of numbers and strings and such? Files and directory hierarchies? Or what? I'm tempted to say "a graph", but I don't actually know how to visualize a graph that isn't immediately a giant hairball. 8 comments
Weirdly enough, my initial visualization is recipe cards and filing systems, old school library card file system-like. Def not 0s and 1s and def not graphs. Eventually, when I press it, it goes to tables that n a DB. @Reyespoint Interesting! So this visualization implies ordering ... like "I know I which drawer of index cards to open" based on what I want to know? @J12t when I “visualize” it’s not actually visual, it’s got room for more information than would fit in an actual visualization. It’s structural, like an abstraction of a diagram, often like a graph or a flowchart or some of the code or database diagrams I’ve seen, but without having to slice out a planar subset  |
