We’re swimming in data, but are we mining it intelligently?

David McCandless is a “data journalist,” and he has spent a lot of time thinking about how to sort through data and make the information relevant. In this TED talk, McCandless talks about data in a connected world, and how knowledge compression and smart infographics can help us put information to good use.
