Internet’s undersea connection
Even though Internet has grown with a stupidly epic rate, it’s still not the Matrix or SkyNet. Internet is a series of networks interconnected within. When communications are established between your computer’s network and that ugly site involving a girl in a bathtub, a binary signal travels across a ton of copper cables, fiber optic cables and maybe even a satellite connection.
Satellites are, to put it in understandable terms, fucking expensive. That’s why an oceanic series of fiber optic cables are set in order to connect users across continents. As odd as this may sound, it’s way more awesome in graphic.
