My intent this week is to implement the input I received from last week's survey. When I finished this infographic last week, I had a chance to examine it with the individual I'm creating it for. My parents and a few locals were also invited to join me at the coffee shop. As a personal preference, I believe that objective advice is often the most valuable. Actually, the residents were frank and forthright to a fault. Here are a few of the most important points to remember. The only information I received from them was the overall design layout. Because the demographics were so large, I agreed with their assessment. Aside from resizing something to save space, I widened the overall graphic so that things could be spread out more freely.   In order to allow the graphs room to breathe, I rearranged all of the graphics and moved the title to the top of the page. The last thing I want to do is overburden myself with information that is critical.

 I showed my friends my infographic and asked them what they thought of my infographic and here is what they said,  1. "Straight to the point"  2. "I liked how you imaged everything together giving it a broader meaning"  3. "Would you get your point out by the inforgraphic if you removed the word "Blogging" and just leave in the images. 4. "It looks amazing very thought out" 

 After reading Dr. Kelsey's Surfing the Tsunami, I learned that artificial intelligence and data visualization is the "wave" of the future, as many would put it, for the current generation. In other words, it is and will continue to be the fashion until something happens to change that. Artificial Intelligence was addressed in Chapter 1 as a possible solution to the Great Depression and how huge firms that we buy from on a daily basis enjoy the notion of deploying AIs. The apparent reason is to save money and hope to make more money with fewer problems. Many retailers, including Whole Foods, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and Amazon, provide self-checkouts. Checking out and paying for your purchases at your own pace is what this is all about. This will eliminate a large number of cashier positions while saving the company money, so it is understandable that they are on board with it.

 Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be the topic of discussion for week 11. An AI is a computerized machine intended to perform a specific task, however over time they've developed AIs that can think on their own but are still limited in their alternatives. Humans are losing their jobs to AI. World Economic Forum research claims that by 2025, 85 million employees will be replaced by intelligent machines. There's more to it than just robots taking over a few jobs, of course. The goal of artificial intelligence (AI) is to reduce the number of errors and increase the speed at which systems can be implemented. Algorithms are significantly more error-free than humans, and they don't require pay, so it's easy to see how this threatens jobs for all. It's possible to sit back and relax as your car takes you to your destination thanks to self-driving cars example, Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW that have passed numerous safety tests.

 During this week's class, we were instructed to use Tableau to produce an infographic. Tableau Software is an American interactive data visualization software startup specializing incorporate analytics. Using Tableau, I was able to better organize data and present it in a way that was easy for others to understand. There were no issues with switching between graphs, and the data wasn't lost when switching between graphs. I really enjoyed using Tableau software getting an amazing hands-on experience for the future as I am going to be using it for my professional life.
