Our changing world in cartograms. In this series of interactive cartograms, FedEx shows our changing world (and I guess, how they are changing with it) through a variety of worldwide demographics such as access to mobile Web, growth, and happiness. Above is the cartogram for richest countries i.e. GDP. Choose a topic, press play, and the cartogram changes accordingly to match the current metric. In case you're unfamiliar with cartograms, they're the same idea as choropleth maps, but instead of using color to represent a metric, the country areas are used. For example, here's the cartogram for high-technology exports. Have a look for yourself. [FedEx] Amazing Discoveries | Walter Veith | Brian Neumann | Victor Gill. Welcome to Discovery Education.
