Humanising Data

The premise that charts, tables and graphs are inhumane and the proposition that visualisation systems immerse you in the data in such a way that you can process charts, tables and graphs subconsciously.

Marketing Manager walking to a WIP (work-in-progress) meeting "Oh no, not another meeting pouring over slabs of paper filled with Excel tables and pie charts". Data scientist walking alongside: "Don't worry, we've moved all the reporting into a Humanising Data visualisation system, I think you'll find it very easy to find the data points you're looking for. Manager as they both walk in the meeting room door, looking at the three newly installed large format touch-screens: "Oooh, this is nice".

data rape

When you give your phone number to someone through an online dating site, and they send lots of multimedia messages, depleting the data on your phone plan.

Data Weenie

A computer nerd or geek. Someone who is constantly on the computer and has no life. A person who is so involved in computers he achieves orgasm by pressing the keyboard only.

That data weenie at the computer store has the compassion of a Compaq hard drive.

data nazi

An Information Tech person or computer geek who seeks to control all data within an organization and, thereby becomes an obstruction to others trying to share the data.

There is a work stoppage at the company because the data nazi won't allow people to send encrypted info on-line. She's overly conscientious about maintaining confidentiality.
