The World Map of the Internet in 2021
After almost a full year of work, young Slovakian designer Martin Vargic is introducing the brand new Map of the Internet, up to date for the year 2021. This fun and extensive project (where each country represents a site/url) aims to concisely, but still comprehensively visualize the current state of the World Wide Web today.
Inspired by design of historical maps , it is documenting the largest and most popular websites (over the period of 2020-2021) along with their countless aspects and features. (See High-res of the map HERE)
It includes several thousand of some of the most popular websites, represented as distinct “countries”, which are grouped together with others of similar type or category, forming dozens of distinct clusters, regions and continents that stretch throughout the map, such as “news sites”, “search engines”, “social networks”, “e-commerce”, “adult entertainment”, “file sharing”, “software companies” “write my college papers” and so much more.
Color schemes of websites are based on the dominant colors of their user interface or logo. To add further detail and provide deeper insight, many features and services provided by these websites, their sections and content categories, as well as distinct content creators, are labeled as cities and towns (which number at well over 10 thousand).
