    Just think about it. If that strange object had not crashed in 1947, we would not have the internet worldwide today.
    Several engineers have questioned my theory, but ended saying "OMG" and agreeing with me a few days later.

    If I call you on your mobile phone, wherever you are on the planet, your phone rings within about 5 seconds. Have you ever wondered about how the signal finds you,?
    Here in the UK, by 2025, landlines are going to run on the same technology.

    A question for you.
    If you sat down tonight and decided to watch all the videos on Youtube that you have missed over the last 24 hours, remember, only those uploaded within 24 hours.
    At a guess, how long would you estimate that you would be sitting at your computer.

    I think it might take a year, but you would go insane. Crap piled on top of nonsense... just imagine the utter nonsense that is TikTok. I can't go there at all...

    For those of us from either the 'silent generation' (born before 1945) or the 'baby boomers' (1946 through 1964) things like this are difficult to comprehend at times.

    The strange thing that appeared out of the blue following 1947 was fibre optics. Although the concept that light can bend through glass fibers predates the incident, the concept of using pulses to transmit data had never even been considered. We have now reached the cut off point for visible white light, which is 3 gigabits per second.
    30 years ago, the post office tower in London was a mass of satellite microwave dishes, no one seems to have noticed that they have all disappeared

    Try out checking the new Youtube videos from today, later and let me know how long it takes. Assuming that you can spare 8 hours a day, I will look out for your reply about 127 years from now.
    Luckily Skip does not have to run Youtube's servers, since they consume more electricity than the output from a nuclear power station.
    This is one lane or the servers, India alone have around 2,000 lanes.

    I'm still curious about the viability of things like a live covid variant or anthrax spores or other sorts of biological hazards that are stored in a helium or Hydrogen atmosphere
