This Amazing Map Shows 885,000 km Internet Cables Hidden Under the Ocean

 

World’s internet is powered by the complex network of internet cables hidden inside the mighty oceans of Earth. These submarine cables lying on the ocean bed power your internet. Did you know the fact that these cables are mot much thicker than 8 cm and they transmit about 99 percent of all international data? Some of these cables are at depths up to 8,000 metres and the very first instance of submarine internet cables is found in the 1850s. These internet cables connect different countries, islands and continents. Notably, the longest of them stretches from Germany to Korea and measures about 40,000 km.
At many places, the cables are simply in the form of straight lines. However, at many places around smaller locations and uneven areas, the network gets much more complicated. These cables are installed using the special cable-layer boats.

Google Photos can now stabilize all your shaky phone camera video

G oogle Photos is where all my photos are. Long ago I was a man of SmugMug, and then Flickr, and then at some point spent days and days copying years of images to iCloud Photo Library before eventually disregarding that and switching to Google.
