The internet is in the ocean

The internet is in the cloud? No! It’s in the ocean. The internet is known to pulse through fiber optic cables and cell phone towers, but 99% of high-speed international information is transferred under the sea. Underwater cables delivering information isn’t a novel idea — the first Transatlantic cable was laid in 1858—undersea cables have been around since the telegraph. A really nice and insightful story by vox channel.
