What it does

Our project explores a powerful "What If" scenario: What if the internet had never been invented? Through data visualization, we compare mental health metrics from before and after the internet’s emergence to examine the psychological impact of digital life. We use historical and recent data to track trends in mental health, including depression rates, self-reported challenges, and suicide rates, across different demographics.

How we built it

Accomplishments that we're proud of

This hypothetical dashboard provides a glimpse into how today’s mental health landscape might look if the internet had never existed. It suggests that a world free from internet-driven pressures could experience reduced social pressures, potentially altering global rates of depression, stress, and anxiety across different demographics and education levels. Through this lens, the dashboard underscores the internet's influence on mental well-being, offering a unique exploration of the mental health impacts of an increasingly digital world.

What's next for PATTERNSCAPE

We plan to extend this dashboard by analyzing how the internet influences political beliefs, dating behaviors, and the job market. By comparing these areas across pre- and post-internet eras, we hope to reveal shifts in political polarization, relationship- building, and employment trends, further highlighting the internet’s impact on modern society.
