While we're all in lockdown and can't see each other in person, I've been video calling my dad every weekend. I'm in London and he's in Singapore, and it's almost unbelievable how little delay there is, given that it takes a person 14 hours to fly that distance.

Hey world! im from Australia, just wondering what is a fibre optic? a few years ago we upgraded to copper wire, cost the government something like 51 billion dollars

So satellites don't transmit mass amounts of data across the globe?
Is it fair to say satellites carry a fraction of the data underwater cables carry?

Yeah but what are the health implications of being exposed to consistent levels of frequency at that rate? We know the military uses weaponized 5G.
