Internet Connection Density Map

Alex

Chris Harrison created this interesting map of the world's Internet Map, a connection density that visually depicts the structure of the web (by router configuration):

The first rendering displays the relative densities of Internet connectivity across the globe. The stronger the contrast, the more connectivity there is. It is immediately obvious, for example, that North America and Europe are considerably more connected than Africa or South America. However, it is important to note that this only reflect density of connections, and not usage. Hundreds of people may utilize a single connection in an internet cafe, often the only form of connectivity people have access to in developing nations.

When you log into Halo 3 online play it shows a similar map (but for Halo online players, obviously)

We always point out how odd it is that the density in America drops right in the middle...in almost a perfect line. It looks more apparent on Halo, but you can see it here, as well.

That is so cool!
When are they going to open the 'experience' up to the paying public..?
I'd pay to have a play - of course, I'd happily head to Mars on a one way ticket as well, but that's just me...

Never underestimate the power of the human mind to rationalize even the most stupid and useless activities.

//personally, I think of my Neatorama sessions as research into abnormal psychology.

Here's where they got the ideal for those "Mars Space Helmets":

I remembered instantly seeing them before - and I think several REALLY cheap sci-fi movies used them too....

Glad to be of service, Vonskippy! And Denita: Bwahahaha!

Creamer is thinking that when he gets back, he'll have a little chat with the travel agent that booked this "vacation."
