Worldwide Air Traffic

Above is another interesting interactive infographic that illustrates 24 hours of worldwide air traffic. Check out the higher resolution graphic here for much better detail.

This chart not only conveys air traffic, but it is easy to see when it is prime time for travel on each continent. Not only that, it clearly shows where economic development is going on (and where it isn’t). Good data visualization such as this will become requisite in a world that creates 281 exabytes of information annually.

Thanks to kottke.org for the point on the air traffic info.
