Visualized knowledge vs. Written information





I found this interesting picture while i was browsing online. It depicts the population density in certain areas of the US. now, what would more likely stick to your brain, this 3D picture that shows us peaks for highest and dot-like circles for lowest, or a paragraph with statistical data? another argument that visualization wins hands down, being far more likely to be remembered. You might not memorize the exact percentage, but you'll surely have a general idea of which city has a higher density.
