Some 90% of the data in the world today has been created in just the last two years, according to the web site Visualizing.org. We are producing more data than ever before — 2.5 quintillion bytes every day — and we're generating entirely new types of data from sources like social media, sensor networks, electronic trading, and smart grids. Visualizing Global Marathon encouraged students to display data in useful and beautiful ways. In addition to working together via an online dashboard, the students received inspiring sessions from data experts via Google hangouts .early warning disease tools , improving transportation networks , and offering insights into the US election from social media.
