Chapter 7 Note

I personally love using graphs and flow charts for as much as I can professionally. When I worked as an intern I used graphs and charts extensively to show them the impact of my various types of work that I was doing. And Not only with my major do I use flow charts quite extensively in order to explain complex concepts and systems but in many training documents I have made I use them. One point in the chapter on pg. 122 says not to use too much information in a single table but often with my major there is again no real choice. I have seen database charts extremely complex and spanning multiple pages when printed out. But to the trained eye you can pick apart what is really going on. I think that as long as all the information is closely related and contingent on one another it is good to include a good amount of information, this way it can serve multiple purposes and not just make a single point. Using graphs that I constructed that were very complex I found out things that I had not even thought about prior to their creation in terms of impacts of certain actions on the system.
