The Internet

Ist es möglich das internet zu visualisieren? Ja, ist es! Beeindruckend, vor allem wenn man sich den Kontext gibt.

Some people need to see to understand.

Since the Internet is an enormous amalgamation of individual networks that provide the relatively seamless communication of data, it seemed logical to draw lines from one point to another.

This project has been a 17+ year labor of love under the moniker of The Opte Project. The map has been an icon of what the Internet looks like in hundreds of books, in movies, museums, office buildings, educational discussions, and countless publications. The map has also become a teaching tool, allowing visual learners to quickly understand the Internet and networking.

​Now I hope this map will be a teaching tool on why we need to build a new Internet with new core principles built into it.  The Internet is woven into society, and by changing the Internet, it’s possible to change the world.
