  In "Chart Wars" Alex Lundry asserts that H.G. Wells' quote, "statistical thinking will one day be as necessary for efficient citizenship as the ability to read and write;" should now be revised to visual thinking, rather than just statistical thinking. Do you agree with Lundry's statement? Lundry also states that vision is both our most dominant sense, and the most efficient way of taking in information. If you agree with the all of the previously mentioned statements, do you believe that we modernize our education to be more visualization based? Would this assist our future generations to not be misled by the manipulation of visual data or even benefit our future generations at all?
