我們正在承受資訊的過度氾濫。

情態助動詞 B1

And the good news is there might be an easy solution to that,

好消息是，現在有一個簡單的方式，

讓我們能有效的理解這些資訊。

So, visualizing information, so that we can see

我們能瞭解資料的模式與關連性，

and then designing that information so it makes more sense,

資訊經過設計，會讓資訊更有意義，

or allows us to focus only on the information that's important.

或是引領我們專注在資料的重點上。

Failing that, visualized information can just look really cool.

視覺化資訊可不僅僅是看起來很酷炫的東西。

這是"十億美元圖表(Billion Dollar Gram)"，

各種以十億美元為單位的事件後，

with the reporting of billion-dollar amounts in the press.

讓我感到沮喪的情形下，所繪製出來的。

That is, they're meaningless without context:

然而，沒有內容，數字就沒有意義。

It doesn't make any sense, so the only way to understand it

為了體會這些金額大小的意義，我們只能透過

and then scaled the boxes according to those amounts.

And the colors here represent the motivation behind the money.

而顏色代表的是使用這些金錢的動機。

and red is "giving money away," and green is "profiteering."

is you start to have a different relationship to the numbers.

這能讓各位發現，在過去各種報導中，

that would otherwise be scattered across multiple news reports.

這些數字間未被提起的模式與關連性。

Let me point out some that I really like.

讓我來告訴各位其中隱藏的事實。

This is OPEC's revenue, this green box here --

這塊綠色是OPEC(石油輸出國組織)的總收益，

And this little pixel in the corner -- three billion --

是該組織投資的氣候變遷基金。

over 300 billion a year, donated to charity every year,

每年做慈善的金額都超過3000億美金，

given by the top 17 industrialized nations

the Iraq War, predicted to cost just 60 billion

And it mushroomed slightly. Afghanistan and Iraq mushroomed now

這數字後來爆增。阿富汗/伊拉克戰爭目前開銷

because now we have this texture, and we can add numbers to it as well.

因為我們有前車之鑑，這個數字也會再往上調整。

So we could say, well, a new figure comes out ... let's see African debt.

讓我們看另一個新的數字... 非洲的負債。

How much of this diagram do you think might be taken up

by the debt that Africa owes to the West?

目前非洲各國的負債金額是2270億美金。

how much of this diagram might that figure take up?

各位認為這個數字的色塊是怎樣?

What has that cost the world? Let's take a look at that.

這個事件造成的成本是多少?讓我們來瞧瞧。

Dooosh -- Which I think is the appropriate sound effect

夭壽。這大概是最適合的形容詞了。

a kind of map really, a sort of information map.

So I want to show you another landscape now.

現在，我要給各位看看另一種圖像。

把世界上令人驚恐的事件，用圖形表示會是怎樣。

這圖叫"小題大作(mountains out of mole hills)"，

這張圖是全球媒體造成恐慌的時間軸。

But the height here, I want to point out,

SARS -- brownish here. Remember that one?

這些是從媒體開始報導到結束之間

But what I love -- and I'm a journalist --

and what I love is finding hidden patterns; I love being a data detective.

所以我喜歡尋找那隱藏的模式，我喜歡當個資料偵探。

And there's a very interesting and odd pattern hidden in this data

資料中總是隱藏著有趣且古怪的模式，

that you can only see when you visualize it.

除了把資料視覺化，不然根本沒辦法發覺。

See this line, this is a landscape for violent video games.

紅色部分，是針對暴力電玩的報導強度。

As you can see, there's a kind of odd, regular pattern in the data,

各位可以看到，有點奇怪，資料出現了一些規律，

If we look closer, we see those peaks occur

若我們仔細看，我們能發現這2次尖峰，
