To
answer this question, Buckminster Fuller invented
the Dymaxion (tm) globe and map.
The Dymaxion Globe has many advantages:
Unfolded, it has very little distortion and
no breaks in the continental contours.
The
Dymaxion map shows that all the continents
are connected, or separated by relatively
short distances.
This "one-world island in a one-world ocean"
helps us visualize global resources, population
and distribution patterns which characterize
the complex trends and critical needs of today's
world.
