Internet Mapping

Create a map of the internet and how you navigate this space.

This activitiy will help you better understand how you use the internet by reflecting on the places you go online.

A map in your head

Kevin Kelly created The Internet Mapping Project asking people to draw how they see the internet in their mind.

“The internet is vast. Bigger than a city, bigger than a country, maybe as big as the universe. It’s expanding by the second. No one has seen its borders.

And the internet is intangible, like spirits and angels. The web is an immense ghost land of disembodied places. Who knows if you are even there, there.

Yet everyday we navigate through this ethereal realm for hours on end and return alive. We must have some map in our head.” – read more at kk.org/ct2/the-internet-mapping-project/

Create your own map of the internet

Kevin Kelly created a print-out sheet so that you can draw your own map of the internet. Draw a map of the internet as you see it and indicate your “home” within this map. Download the print-out at the button below or here: kk.org/mt-files/internetmapping.pdf
