Simply because the technology was not ready, there were too many weaknesses. Now technology is ready! - And why is visualization important? Visualization is one fundamental pillar of modern computer science. - The human eyes carry 80-90% of all information input, images have the highest bandwidth (you know the saying: a picture is worth a thousand words) - And a visual summary of information makes it much easier to identify patterns and trends, and to analyze data communication easier and more efficient
