15 Cool And Interesting Websites Where You Can Learn Something New Every Day AND Have Fun!
Just a few decades ago you had to spend hours getting lost in hundreds of books at a local library or take classes to learn something you’re interested in. Today, it’s all literally at your fingertips! Here are 15 of the best websites on the Internet where you can learn something new every day while having fun!
1. Every Noise
Every Noise is a scatter-plot map based on an algorithm of over 1,270 music genres. Some are the ones you already know but some are more obscure than others, like 'contemporary post-bop' or 'gothic symphonic metal.' Just click on a genre to get a sense of what it sounds like; click again and the map pulls out a list of related artists and bands!
2. Geotargit
Just type a place’s name and find out how many other places in the world have the same name. Or you can also learn how many places were named after foods!

This website is an active map of all of the world’s conflicts and breaking news. So if you feel like it’s impossible to understand what’s going on in the Middle East, or between Ukraine and Russia, here’s a great tool to start learning.
6. Periodic Stats
Periodic Stats is a dead-easy web-based Periodic Table to click around, showing all the stats and the history of each element. If you hated chemistry in high school, this might be the time to start loving it!
7. Old Computers
This website is dedicated to the preservation and display of these vintage computer systems. Just click and explore old computers from the dawn of time and re-live the past!
For fun, view all 150 old computers all at the same time to appreciate how diverse and interesting they are.

9. Affine Layer
If you wonder how the cat you drew would look like in real life, here’s an amazing website to help you see. You’ll be amazed at the results if you’re a good painter, but you’ll have fun seeing strangely shaped creatures like in the example above if you’re not! So either way, you’ll have fun.
10. Before the Flood
Leonard DiCaprio hosted a National Geographic documentary about climate change, and here’s the website which is sort of a side project for it. By clicking on different locations on the map, you can see rising sea levels and how threatening the climate change actually is.

14. Xefer
Put in any number of terms you would find on a Wikipedia search and watch as all of it eventually joins into a few main lines that eventually lead back to 'Philosophy.' Sounds useless? It’s actually surprisingly fun!
15. Impact Earth
''Impact: Earth!'' is a website that allows anyone to calculate the potential damage a comet or asteroid would cause if it hit the Earth.
The interactive website is scientifically accurate enough to be used by homeland security and NASA, but user-friendly and visual enough for elementary school students!
