The internet’s undersea world
According to The Guardian, “the vast majority of the world’s communications are not carried by satellites but by an altogether older technonolgy: cables under the earth’s oceans. As a ship [Wednesday, January 27, 2008] accidentally wipe[d] out Asia’s net access, this map shows how we rely on collections of wires of less than 10 cm [about 4 inches] diameter to link us together.”
