Mobile Landscape

My dad originally sent me this article about how researchers at MIT have collaborated with a major cell network in Graz to map cell phone usage. Now that I'm more familiar with the city I know where the the huge red bump on this map is... the university dorms. That tells you even more than the article about the age of the cell phone users!
The map is oriented with East at the topThere is an exhibit at the Stadt Museum mapping the real-time use of cell phones in Graz. If you stand and look at this screen long enough you can see how the degree of usage is changing all over the city.
This image is oriented with North at the top.
