A map showing what the world would look like if countries were as bif as their
online populations.
The map, created as part of the Information Geographies project at the
Oxford Internet Institute, has two layers of information: the absolute
size of the online population by country (rendered in geographical
space) and the percent of the overall population that represents
(rendered by color).
Thus, Canada, with a relatively small number of people takes up little
space, but is colored dark red, because more than 80 percent of people
are online. China, by contrast, is huge, with more than half a billion
people online, but relatively lightly shaded, since more than half the
population is not online.
