The World’s Largest Photo Libraries

This should be retitled “quality vs quantity.” Of course, that’s not to say that this isn’t impressive or that Facebook isn’t providing a valuable service. If anything, the alternate title demonstrates the problem with most info-graphics. They present a overly simplified version of a relationship that’s easy to pass around without including any sort of context. This info-graphic ought to raise questions. Instead, it is digested as an answer. 

Reblogging for Eric’s caption. Infographics make us feel informed like Sorkin dialogue makes us feel smart.
