WE ARE THE DIGITAL KIDS.

I'm Amanda Mooney, a digital kid and senior social media strategist at Edelman in Chicago. I write for Paper Magazine's Word Up blog with a weekly feature called WWWe Could Be Next and also write for Ruby Pseudo Wants a Word, the Edelman Digital blog and American Shelf Life. You can also get in touch with me via mooney[dot]amanda@gmail.com, find me on Twitter, Facebook, Flickr…or find the ultimate guide to getting in touch with me here.

“The internet is vast. Bigger than a city, bigger than a country, maybe as big as the universe. It’s expanding by the second. No one has seen its borders.
And the internet is intangible, like spirits and angels. The web is an immense ghost land of disembodied places. Who knows if you are even there, there.
Yet everyday we navigate through this ethereal realm for hours on end and return alive. We must have some map in our head.
I’ve become very curious about the maps people have in their minds when they enter the internet. So I’ve been asking people to draw me a map of the internet as they see it. That’s all. “
