In case you've been living under a rock, the cost of higher education has skyrocketed in recent years, particularly for out-of-state and private college students. 

H&R Block put together a useful infographic that breaks down the average costs of attending college, from tuition and fees to room and board.

Turns out community college is still the best deal—tuition & fees cost $2,963, while room & board ring in at $7,408—and private school remains the most pricey. There, students can expect to pay $28,500 for tuition & fees on top of an astonishing $10,089 for room & board. 

The graphic also lists the top-earning and lowest-earning degrees, and from the looks of things, performing arts majors might want to reconsider a career in engineering. Take a look: tuition, college, infographic

We were amazed at this to-scale map we found on Tumblr depicting the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the world's oceans. The trench is located in the Pacific Ocean near the Philippines.

Near the top is a tiny black dot, a to-scale representation of a 6-foot-tall person. Below that is the maximum diving depth of a blue whale, the largest animal known to Earth.

This Graph Breaks Down The Cost Of Traveling The World For A Year

These 6 Corporations Control 90% Of The Media In America

This infographic created by Jason at Frugal Dad shows that almost all media comes from the same six sources.

That's consolidated from 50 companies back in 1983. 

NOTE: This infographic is from last year and is missing some key transactions. GE does not own NBC (or Comcast or any media) anymore. So that 6th company is now Comcast. And Time Warner doesn't own AOL, so Huffington Post isn't affiliated with them.

But the fact that a few companies own everything demonstrates "the illusion of choice," Frugal Dad says. While some big sites, like Digg and Reddit aren't owned by any of the corporations, Time Warner owns news sites read by millions of Americans every year.

Here's the graphic:

Dad's changed a lot in the past 40 years. Back in the day, he might have asked for a fedora and a pack of smokes for Father's Day. Today, he's probably hoping you'll buy him a microbrew and fish filet dinner. 

H&R Block put together the fun graphic below to track how Dad's taste in clothes, food and cars has evolved since the Don Draper days. He may dress a lot differently, but some things never change: He'll be watching some football on Sunday.

One graphic designer over at Supernova Condensate just published this cool infographic comparing the relative sizes and designs of different spacecraft. 

You've got to check it out.

Some of these programs were scrapped, and other are glimpses of the possible designs of the future, but this should give people a solid sense of scale when it comes to what it takes to get into and hang out in space for an extended period of time. 

Needless to say, there are a lot of very eager countries looking to find their way into orbit. 

The coolest thing on this is probably the International Space Station. That absolutely dwarfs every plane, satellite, and rocket on here. 

But seriously, Skylon also looks wild.

Few people would call flying relaxing, but all that might change when Boeing rolls out its 787 Dreamliner in the U.K. this August. With extra-large windows and LED lights, the plane aims to make travel more efficient by cutting fuel costs and adding direct routes. 

Of course not everyone will get to fly the Dreamliner, so travel site Skyscanner decided to check in with passengers and ask what they'd like to find in their dream aircraft. 

To no one's surprise, capsule-style bunks (20%), noise-reduction (26%) and anti-kick seats (8%) topped the list, while massaging chairs took fourth place, followed by "free use of iPads" (5%). 

A lot of people would like to join the Mile High club, or at least find someone to flirt with—4% said they'd like to have a singles section in-flight.  

Top Ten Wish List for The Perfect Plane

1. Capsule-style bunks – 20%

2. Sound proof sections for children – 18%

3. Anti-kick seats – 8%

4. Massaging Chairs – 8%

5. Free use of iPads – 5%

For kids of the 80s and 90s, waking up on Saturday morning to catch our favorite cartoons was one of the finer things in life. That's not so true for kids today, at least as far as cable goes. 

A new survey from Tech Bargains shows that 30 percent of people have completely cut the cord on their cable and opting for cheaper alternatives like Netflix and YouTube.

The survey found that 83 percent of people who cancelled their cable did so because the cost was too high. And 33 percent of the people who cut their cable said they wouldn't reconnect it even if the price was reduced.

Check out the graphic from TechBargains.com for more facts about why we're cutting the cord:

It'll make you realize how much of the old '90s slang we still use today. Ones like "my bad" and "mad" have withstood the test of time, along with many others.

Though hopefully you haven't heard "all that and a bag of chips" lately.
