Today, timelines have also evolved with technology. You’ll find timelines in print media such as history books, brochures, newspapers, and manuals explaining a procedure or process. Timelines have been in use even before data visualization and infographic software were common. People are also more likely to pause and go over your infographic because the visualization automatically creates a sense of order and flow for them.

While the visual format of the information looks simple than the usual timeline infographics you see on the interwebs, it’s more engaging and memorable than its plain text format.
