When looking at the different interactive data visualization, it may be kind of frightening to see so much data all at once. There are many ways to view whatever information that is been represented. For myself when looking at the Cause of Death visualization, it seemed a bit confusing. Mainly because there is definite legend involved with the graph. Some of the data was confusing to read. But when looking for just a query of how many people die because of Tuberculosis and changed the actual visualization to show a map of the world, it became a lot easier to read the information. Of course, this was me just playing with the information. But I had requested or someone of higher authority requested this information, then the visualization would make more sense.

These types of visualizations are very informative and are a great tool to show information to somebody who needs the data to make a decision or to show case. I can see being especially helpful in the medical realm. These types of graphics can be used to show depictions of illness to interventions to the number of patients seen in a clinic or hospital.
