    Hello, my name is Jacob. This video answered a question I’ve wondered about for a long time: how the internet was made. I also think that it’s really cool how the internet is so fast, that I can go to a website from the other side of the world, and it would still load in a reasonable amount of time.
    Interconnectedness. What an idea.
    Anyway, thank you for the knowledge.
