‘What Is the Shape of the Internet?’, A Site That Features Representations of the Internet From Patent Drawings

Shape of the Internet

What Is the Shape of the Internet? is a site by Noah Veltman that compiles representations of the Internet from patent drawings. The drawings range from various clouds to amorphous blobs and abstract shapes.

According to patent drawings, it’s a cloud, or a bean, or a web, or an explosion, or a highway, or maybe a weird lump.
