[Year 12 IT Apps] Sony network hack infographic

[ken price]

Interesting facts in the infographic - several of my students were caught up
in the Sony security incident so it's a teaching opportunity.

Though you have to wonder about how useful it is to compare a new quantity
to equally obscure quantities (eg number of employees of Sony exceed the
populations of Aruba and the Cayman islands - not sure how that helps
illustrate anything if you know nothing about Aruba or Cayman Islands)

Reminds me of a firewood seller near where we lived years ago. To weigh
firewood he used  a huge balance where he stacked the firewood on one side,
then rocks on the other side till they balanced - then he guessed the weight
of the rocks.

Infographics are sometimes more about graphics than information. :-)
