Using Open Source To Visualize Afghanistan Election Data
Problems are usually easier to solve when you can see them visually. Understanding of the data is even more important if you’re figuring out how trends correlate to triggers and underlying variables. Perhaps this is why it’s so difficult for us to enact solutions, on a personal and group level, to thwart plaguing issues such as world hunger, deforestation, poverty, and pollution amongst others.
After stumbling across the topic of data visualization, I’m convinced that open data initiatives and open source web technologies will play a critical role to track and solve local and international issues.
