@fryrsquared: I find this DELIGHTFUL to imagine as I scroll ✨️🌈✨️

MartinS :

And some people use all that lovely technology just to tell me the earth is flat, and we never landed on the moon. That's really sad

Muthu :

The Internet is disco! 🕺🏾

its.Not.Ollie :

All that so I can show you this

Richard :

THE CHEAT!!!! Umm I mean, I enjoyed the HSR cameo in a very normal and contained way

rhb300 :

Morse code with lasers. Yes. Mind boggled. Yes. But now please explain radio communications.

PanicAcid :

I'm a big fan of IP Over Avian Carrier IPoAC haha. Look it up 😅

rab754 :

40s to send hello. I remember those days, I remember dial up internet, I am that old…🤷‍♂️😜🤷‍♂

Seeker :

I don’t understand how tiny amounts of data doesn’t get lost in this process. Like I’ve had error messages before but I’ve never had a letter missing or a picture off by a few pixels. Literally never

noji :

Do I actually understand how the Internet works for the first time ever? 😂 Beautiful explanation thank you!!

🐉🐲🐉 :

Lamina Flow :

Jeff :

Peter :

The Cheat is grounded!!!!

Lilith Witch :

This was absolutely fascinating! Thank you! And yes, all the rainbows everywhere definitely makes me happy. 💜

A10650 :

Essentially, what you’re telling us is.. there really is light at the end of the rainbow 🌈 - thank you Hannah 🥰

ii_hands_ii_heaven :

it blows my mind that a message can get to Australia and back in under a second so consistently. billions of connections sharing the same cables? it makes no sense to me

AngeloDudini :

This all seems crazy but I think what is even crazier is that we also dont need the fiber and we can send this data through air

Ben Rogers :

You make me SO excited about the most boring stuff….!! 🤣

Hollifant🇿🇦 :

THE INTERNET IS A SERIES OF TUBES

TT :

Yeah the amount of flashes that happen at the speed they happen to transfer TBs of data is diffucult to comprehend. If you printed out on paper the amount of 1’s and 0’s that are transmitted per second over one cable it would blow your mind…then multiply that by the amount of cables going across the world at the same time 🤯

Big Crafty :

love it

Amy Eldred :

I love you Hannah Fry

Alexander :

I don’t want to crash the party but it’s predominantly single wavelengths or bidirectional using two wavelengths up to 100G. Using many wavelengths is mostly used by ISPs and such demands. Its not colors you can actually see but wavelengths around 1271–1611 nm.
