Welcome to the Museum of the Fossilized Internet.
Welcome to the Museum of the Fossilized Internet.


This museum was founded in 2050 to commemorate two decades of a fossil-free internet and to invite museum's visitors to experience the coal and oil-powered internet of 2020.  
This museum was founded in 2050 to commemorate two decades of a fossil-free internet and to invite museum's visitors to experience the coal and oil-powered internet of 2020. Gasp at the horrors of surveillance capitalism. Nod knowingly at the plague of spam. Be baffled at the size of AI training data and lament the binge culture of video streaming.  


In 2025 the internet and its related technologies were responsible for around 12% of the world’s total electricity consumption and far outweighed the CO2 footprint of the aviation industry. Crisis talks were held across the world and in 2028 the EcoNet Agreement was reached. Major internet companies signed up to power their data centers and operations with renewable sources of energy, developers and designers changed the ways websites were built and consumed and the energy intensive practices of cryptocurrency mining, video streaming and ad surveillance changed dramatically.
While curation always means making a choice, we visualized and incorporated as many of the everyday practices as we could based on the input, feedback, and observations shared with us by contemporaries.  
 
You’re free to roam this miniature museum as you please. Descriptions and additional research put each exhibit into context and perspective. If you’re a 2020 contemporary, please leave feedback, comments, and additional observations when you leave.
 
Enjoy. Ponder. Act.  


In order to represent something so huge in scale, we have decided to go very small. You’re free to roam this miniature museum as you please. Descriptions and additional research put each exhibit into context and perspective. If you’re a 2020 contemporary, please leave feedback, comments, and additional observations when you leave.
