We run our businesses on the Internet, scarcely giving it a second thought. But what holds together this network that just 50 years ago would have seemed like magic? This is an easy visualization of the backbone connecting our websites with our customers, suppliers and of course with BizSugar.

Great Info-Graphic! If I read it correctly, it takes almost a quarter of a second to go from NYC to Hong Kong - 234ms, or 234/1000. That's like the "slap-back" echo of 50's music.

David,

So he ain't gettin' up. He's after having been in the hospital. He was very excited though to hear that you'd posted. So I did the next best thing, I printed the page, showed it to him in bed. He said it's amazing and gave me "power of attorney" to vote for you. I did the same for Susan Oakes' article too!

Oh, dear. Yoni, I hope you get better. Take care of yourself first. Health is the foundation of everything we do. So very important.

David,

I waited for over two minutes but it wouldn't load. I googled the title and found it another site you posted it to. Extraordinary graphic if I do say so myself, which I will!

p.s.

Yoni is in bed, but I told him you posted. He will come and check it out in a moment...

Really interesting infographic, David. There are going to be some big evolutions ongoing so you could really put graphics like this out on a regular basis to map the changes. Thanks for sharing. You always find the best stuff!
