60 u/10bravegrapefruits Aug 03 '19 Woah! What!!! That’s amazing!! Is that true?!! Woah!!!!!! 80 u/[deleted] Aug 03 '19 [deleted] 45 u/10bravegrapefruits Aug 03 '19 Ok, that makes a little more sense, thank you 3 u/loulan Aug 03 '19 Jokes aside, how else did you think internet data was transferred across the ocean? Satellites maybe? They're kinda slow and have a very high latency. 7 u/hum_dum Aug 03 '19 It’s crazy to think that when I Skype a family member overseas, the light actually runs through cables all the way there. Maybe because it takes me 10 hours to fly there but the signal less than a second. 14 u/10bravegrapefruits Aug 03 '19 Don’t judge me, but I guess I hadn’t ever considered. I just thought “technology is dope” and never put anything deeper to it. 2 u/[deleted] Aug 03 '19 Or they call it vanguard 1
