This animation (GIF alert) shows the distribution of music sales over time.
Wait a few seconds and you see the pie chart changing for multiple years.

charts. The animation takes too long, and the audience does not have the
overview of all the years.
I copied this image from a Tweet that did not include the reference to the
source.
There are other problems as well with this chart, gradients, standard
Microsoft Office colours, drop shadows, small data labels, and ambiguous
labelling ("Internet", "mobile", "video", etc.).

their students. Funny thing is, they’re not usually that open about sharing
it with their students (as if that would do any harm!)
Well, we don’t believe in shutting down information. Quite the contrary: I
think the best way to practice your speech is to know exactly what is being
tested!
