For many of you listening to the sound of my voice right now, the audio originated from a digital file that was transported across the globe at the speed of light on fiber-optic cables.

The fiber optic cables, which crisscross the oceans, create a network that unites the entire globe. Almost all the telephone calls, text messages, web pages, streaming videos, and podcasts that travel around the world do so through undersea fiber optic cables.

Without these cables, our modern world would be very different, and many of you wouldn’t be listening to me right now.

Learn more about undersea fiber optic cables and how they work on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
