Check it out. I thought this was rather interesting. As we travel through physical space we use our eyes to create images in our brains of where we are, where we've been and what our general surroundings "look" like. As we travel through web space it's much more difficult. Our transport is not physical in the typical sense - there are no visualization we acquire other than from our stationary interface into the network. Kinda weird when you think of it. I used to have n 9'x12' (really big!!) map of the internet world-wide which included all public and some private, lines ≥28k back in the early 90's. Not so long ago really.
Today just a very small section appears 100's of times more complex than that did then.
