Internet - An infographic

Description

"Do you know where the word "spam" comes from? Did you know that there will soon be wifi on Mars? Or that Swedish is the third most common language on Wikipedia? That the first e-mail message between two computers was sent in 1965? Or that Filipinos spend the most time on social networks every day? This is what you will discover when you immerse yourself in this magnificent and abundant infographic. In a hundred or so pages, this book offers a new graphic style that is as rich as it is entertaining. Thanks to datavisualisation, you will be immersed in the world of the Internet, discovering its history, its technology, its players, its failings and its promises. From the mapping of submarine cables around the world to the worrying invasion of connected objects, from the activism of leaders on social networks to the exploration of networked games and the challenge of online information, this book does not just draw the contours of the web in the four corners of our planet. It also looks at how the Internet is profoundly and permanently changing the daily lives and representations of 5 billion users around the world. Thanks to the collaboration of Tristan Mendès France, an Internet specialist, and Quintin Leeds, an outstanding graphic designer, Internet. An infographic reports on the major issues of our time: those of an ultra-connected world."
