 This is a visualized map of the United States and all of the internet connections within it. It is designed very simply and utilizes line and color so that connections may be more visible. I found that which regions of the country connect with others to be very interesting. I had no idea that there would be so many connections between California and the east cost. This could show us that more populated areas tend to communicate more with other populated areas rather than rural areas. Seeing which cities in the U.S. are major internet hubs is also fascinating. It appears that Florida plays a major role in Internet connectivity.
