- When a squirrel chewed through a cable and knocked him offline, journalist Andrew Blum started wondering what the Internet was really made of. So he set out to go see it -- the underwater cables, secret switches and other physical bits that make up the net.

Lol all the comments talking about being here for BCIS course
Well I’m not here for BCIS but I’m here for a Digital humanities class😂
Yes
Who else is here to make a summary for their BCIS class?
Shout out to San Jac
@@BigchillBeats999 bro y’all all live in Texas ? I go to phs😭
@@johnw3736 Aye, which school you go to like south, central?
@@nahriahrivera pasadena high school wack. pasadena memorial is better
@@Sebastian-wr4ym went to south, over at UHCL now.
"Light goes in on one side of the ocean and comes out on the other side of the ocean" I genuinely came here to learn about the internet but I feel like this is some sort of poetic fusion between the art of words and the art that is technology as we know and understand it. This alone is a form of art.
It's just waxing lyrical about the internet, basically playing with words. A squirrel chewing on your internet...really, is this comedy? How about a squirrel chewing on my internet's medium?
I worked in a factory where they make these under sea fiber optic cables. I was in quality control testing these babies. Very cool job actually.
8:29 Got a sleeper.
ooo I shall now find, screenshot, and publicly SHAME THEM!! lmfao
can you imagine waking up and finding out you'd missed out on such a great fkn presentation tho?? I'd be pissed.
Just finished reading his book Tubes and its amazing, was really nice to see some of the pictures he took during this talk and visually see the things he witnessed in the expansion of the internet.
Brilliant! Blum is right, once the workers cover the manhole with sand, we forget how physical the internet really is.
Loved the talk. Great job.
Wow, what a perspective!!! This man was quite successful in explaining the physicality of something as abstract as the internet. Really enjoyed listening to him
such an enlightening video, so fascinating!
I enjoyed this talk. Thank you :) I want to know more about how we are all physically connected. Well done :)
I hope in my field of study some event will inspire me to explore and discover answers to curiosities presenting themselves in the most interesting of manners.
Has such an event taken place yet
I indeed am too curious of what magnitude the event would have to posses in order for your inspiration to occur?
Beautiful presentation
I love you Sir...Andrew Blum was too amazing!!!
Imagine having to take the same classes twice this is my second time watching this video 😭
came here for my bcis class but dam he cute
+me168716 lol no kidding
girl he gay af smh lol
me168716 girl I thought the same too lmao
j j loser
lol same do you go to san jac in Houston?
It's amazing to think more then a hundred years ago we where doing the same thing with telegraph cables.
how are under ground/sea, wires, involved with 'wireless', broadband, internet?
I really enjoyed this talk!
loved this.. really insightful .. i was aware of just how physical the internet is.. but in this incredibly visual time we live in.. it takes seeing the guy coming out of the sea holding the internet cable first, before you can truely imagine a guy coming out of the sea holding the internet.cable
Incredible!!! ♥
That's really amazing
It was pretty cool to witness a cable landing, in Guam, back in 2009...
WOW, it's so incredible
He wanted to see it, and touch it. It's very important that we know how things that we use, work. What makes a notification on your phone possible, and more importantly, how the world works.
-Cheers
Informative
I don't understand the negative comments. This is fascinating! Too bad it was cut off, I would have liked to see the entire lecture.
I'm not sure why, but I feel stupid after watching this video. I am amazed at how interested this guy is in something so obvious (to me). And also how enthusiastic he is in sharing this information with us, like a child discovering something new, and sharing it with his parents. Not sure the TED audience is the right audience for this.
I think he’s trying to be as fun and engaging as possible, so that people who’d never otherwise concentrate long enough to understand this from a lecture or textbook actually do. This is awesome.
Can someone summarize this for me its for a assignment for school lol
same lol
No one?
Thank You!
They're all… 42… the answer to life, the universe, and everything?
Have you ever wonder what Internet is all about. Is it something physical or mere illusion? In this wonderful talk, the passionate young man Andrew Blum vividly describes about his fact-finding mission with touch of humor. Good Talk. Good Subject. Delightful.
Thanks!
Its a network
I don't know how big the IT crowd is elsewhere but the UK, but it is definitely worth watching, best modern sitcom we have
they also provide you with wireless service! ISP=Internet service provider, meaning Internet in many forms of access
I'm here for BCIS
A global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication protocols.
So nobody noticed the guy sleeping at 6:22?
amazing
I liked this talk. People should try to know a little more about everything.
Why is everyone slamming this guy, I bet you 95% of the population have no idea about the physicality of the internet. He may be just scratching the massive surface of the internet but at least he is trying to understand. We get it, some of us are way more intelligent at networking and computers in general, but you don't have to look down on others because they didn't know about it.
Because most people probably had to watch this for class
Good explanation to
Wow I had no ideia.
quarantine learning check :))
It's pretty mind boggling to me how a bunch of cables transmitting electricity (probably) can be transformed into such a monumental thing as the internet. Think of yourself. You are a bunch of neurons firing in your brain, but the sum of all these electrical impulses and chemical processes that's going on inside you, gives rise to an entirely different thing. The fact that the internet exists, physically, is a cool thought in my opinion, and one that most people usually don't stop to consider.
Exactly how i conceptualized it in my head
Amazing
good job
I am not sure if you're talking about Vsauce or the It Crowd, but I like them both. The It Crowd episode was really funny.
interesting video but when I search what is the internet I wanted to find out how it was found where it stems from why do we use it the way we do what else could we use it for what is the basic of the web
+young jynx it doesnt stem from anywhere its decentralized that was the whole point of the picture he showed in the beginning
Trust me I know. This is the way i think, and it sometimes leaves me with a head ache..
I'm in love with his face...damn😊😥😥
Here from bcis class, summary?
9:55 cigarette mention censored.
Preach!
I came here looking for a "series of tubes" joke. I was not disappointed.
Could u tell me whats an it environment then?
when they put it in the manhole, what happend after that? does manhole go somwehere? Where is the source? where is the data int he fibers comings from? Are there many sources?
I work in telecom, and I say this guy has just discovered America!
Am I the only one kinda shocked that they have fiber cables running through the ocean?
Great talk! You forgot to plug your book ;)
with that the title of this video the scope of his speach could have been broader.
"...Internet changed everything, from shopping to dating.."
xD Does anyone read this before actual presentation?
I'm glad TED exists, but damn...why the hell junk my sub box with this silliness?
Wired people should know something about wires! It makes sense
Ohhhh, i loved that quoted
I agree. Do you still remember the old tune? I barely do, but it was very annoying too iirc.
Satellites in space too. Oh my!
Funny how everyone in the crowd at 8:30 is falling asleep and one girl smiles like crazy heh.
I felt the presentation was a little unfocused in a way, kind of like a 'What's the point?' feeling, but it was amusing and interesting nonetheless. I think the guy is a great speaker as well.
But how about the sattelite and radio technology , it is not all physical , some are wave or energy
Cool
Cool
Yooo the heck are you doing here? Love your videos
To my opinion it is crazy to think that each computer connected to the Internet in the world is physically connected to mine by a tremendous number of possible path.
Fully agree, have no idea why they haven't changed it, everyone seems to hate it.
Omg that image is really scary
Did I say Servers where tiny? But it actually depends on the servers actually. You can turn any desktop computer in to a server.
Wowzer, super cool! Great work. Ahead of his time. I wonder what he thinks about the internet 11 years later. Or what he'll think about the internet 11 years from today.
Sometimes I wonder if the TED guys are ever going to figure out that cutting to angles of the gaping jaws of random audience members is jarring and unnecessary.
lol, please tell me you've watched the it crowd
- there has been ocean cables since before the Internet. I belive the first Atlantic cable was used for Telegraphy
I never use the internet...NEVER.
LOL
hahahahahahahaha wow classic
Like you will stop using it
Me too
Hahaha
Prior to the internet people related to other people using pieces of paper (books, letters, newpapers, etc.). But we didn't have people getting freaked-out about looking at rectangles of paper all day the way people get freaked-out about looking at screens.
The point he makes is very simple - which doesn't make it irrelevant of course.
The internet is a series of tubes!
It's a series of tubes!!!
I'll do my best. However, I would most likely refer them to an adult learning class on web surfing at the local high school.
It got a little emotional at the end, I must say.
I prefer "your listening to TED talks" in a nice voice :)
Guy @8:29 rofl =P
Screenshot for the lazy - imgur.com/F6X9bHF
im just here for the BCIS cource lol
Optic fibre cable!
Now i wanna now where is the Intenet cable on Puerto Rico.
+Roberto Ramirez Yo tambien
There's several cables connecting to Puerto Rico: San Juan (7 cables), Miramar (2), Isla Verde (4), Punta Salina (1) > submarinecablemap.com
i just watched that specific episode where they say the internet weights nothing, but have YOU seen that Vsauce video above??
a squirrel chewed on my internet - hilarious :)
Someone please summarize this for me for ny BCIS class, I do not like watching ted talks! 😫
no
lazy
It's magic Joel,it's magic
A VERY short list of vital infrastructure targets...thanks for entering that into the public contoiusness Mr. Blum.
Tell us more about the squirrel.
the internet doesn't weight anything?!?! *ahem* Vsauce: How Much Does The Internet Weigh?
Yes
the internets is a series of tubes.
I think it was a warning that one day a giant sea squirrel will eat our internet!
By the way Tata is the worst internet provider in India.
Você está aí do outro lado 🌍👍
