POPSThe dumbing down page (Mu-sick) This site provides information about shops, companies and public services using piped music (aural pollution) in the spaces occupied by their clients or customers and it encourages you to complain about this abuse. It has also this page about dumbing down. I heard people saying that "dumbing down" means "accessibility". I guess "piped music" could then mean "freedom of speech", and the same could be said of leafleting. I still wonder where's the limit that would allow us to distinguish information, comunication, creativity and opinion sharing from noise, enviromental and mind pollution. I love infographics. Some could be saying that's dumbing down information, I guess. (once more sorry for my poor english)

E.g. amount of energy consumed per day visits: online/offline, average duration, member/casual/students, etc. artworks: new acquisitions, on loan, most visited, etc. gardening activity: new blooms, H2O consumption, etc Loved the 3rd grader stat. :)

POPSMore titillating infographics: Product Space & Development of Nations Cool infographic showing material types, products, proximity of manufacture, world trade volumes of each. According to the brief, "proximity" here refers to the theory that a country's ability to manufacture a product (e.g. apples) depends on its ability to produce related ones (e.g. another fruit like pears). Part of information supporting the paper The Product Space Conditions the Development of Nations (Hidalgo, Klinger, Barabasi, Hausmann). There is also a page where you can download individual country maps. Via VisualComplexity .
