Does
the Internet look like a living organism ? or a nervous system ? Is it
possible to visualize the real time connections happening on the Web ?
The result is staggering. It is the product of the work of Benjamin
Fry, a researcher from MIT’s Media Lab and his “Anemone” Project. Look
how the connection branches unfold from a Web site in front of your eyes
by clicking on the QuickTime
movie at this link. For even more spectacular maps of the Internet,
seen from “inside”, visit the Cyber-Geography
Atlas.
