Comment on If internet means wires, then how come my mobile phone gets connected to the internet ? I'm roaming everywhere with it inside my pocket.
But… It’s not wrong. Those cables make up the intercontinental connections. The latency via satellite is far worse.
Underwater cables being used for parts of the internet is not the same thing as “internet means wires.”
Yes, but it’s being a critical part of it’s infrastructure.
Wireless is also critical, but I’m starting to think your confusion is more around grammar than technology.
You might be spot on there. I’m not natively English and also neurodivergent which separately leads to a lot of miscommunication let alone together.
What comes across as confusion might literally be a completely different view and understanding.
Anyhow it’s absolutely not critical here, for all I care smoke signs are still relevant 🤣
