Have you ever wondered how in the world you are able to talk to your friend in Hong Kong, or your aunty in India over the other side of the world, or even your mum while she's just down the road through that extremely small but extremely capable device you may have in your pocket right now, your phone. This has all come to play through the advances we have had in technology over the past few years. Did you know that before 2006 iPhones weren't even invented! How crazy is that that now of 3 quarters of people in the world have an iPhone and Apple has sold over 250 million of these extraordinary devices.
Well, I have the answers to all your questions! People are able to communicate now through a satellite that covers the whole entire globe and all continents are now linked under the sea! We are not only spiritually connected due to all this multicultralism but we are also all LITERALLY and PHYSICALLY connected under the sea. Through links and satellites we are provided with fast, cheap and reliable communication between countries.
One of the many amazing cable networks we are provided with is the 'fibre optic cable network'. This network is as thin as a human hair and can carry large amounts of digital networks for long distances. A huge network of fibre optic cables has connected the major cities of the world and helped with development of the television, internet, phone and mobiles etc... The only continent not connected to the 'fibre optic cable network' is Antarctica, so if your friend moves to Antarctica you may have some troubles contacting them.
The goal for the future is to increase the amount of data that can be sent through the fibre optic cables because eventually the size of files will increase and more of the worlds population will start to use this network.
It all started when at the end of the 19th century people started to realise the obvious thing we know now- that signals cannot bend over the Earths curved surface. This was the reason satellites were invented. Satellites are now able to bend over the Earth's curved surface and record and send information. They are orbited high above the earth. Satellites are used for many types of communication such as weather forcasting, television broadcasting, radio communication, internet acess and the Global Positioning System -GPS (the thing you may use on your phone or in your car to lead you to your destination.) Satellites are the best method of mobile communication for ships and planes and many areas that lack communication network.
