The data is put into this app and it creates the visualization of said data:

Cool! Even though data visualizations are quite often useless, they are cool.

I completely disagree with you Jack. Data scientists use data visualizations all the time in pretty much every industry.

Sorry, I really meant the super fancy ones are oftentimes useless or could be expressed in a more simple and usable manner. More standard statistical graphs and things like that are obviously useful and would also fit into data visualization.

Just give me the numbers and I can visualize in my head. Using my super powered brain matter!
