I'm a fiber technician with about 25 years experience and 6 months ago I had the privilege of working on some submarine fiber optic cables a link from Japan to Hawaii and Hawaii and the mainland USA and it was the best fiber experience I have ever got to see

Big salute for the Engineers and technicians involved . Thank you

My mind is blown. The logistics of the internet, amazon, energy, and airports are insane, and it's crazy how many smart humans there are! Those are just a few that blow my mind!!!

Nobody would ever trend them on social media... Sad reality . People only idolise atheletes, celebrities and influencer, but not one who gave birth and help build technologies that we use at ease

You not only have to be a good engineer, you have to be a good diver.

Engineering AND scuba diving? Sounds like my dream job! 😍

[ijudia]

Well done, I appreciate every detail you guys shared in a very informative way.

When people talk about equity and equal pay, they should look at jobs like these. Flipping burgers and undersea cable repair are not 'equal' jobs!

I begin a 8-9 week job as ROV supervisor on a cable laying vessel at port in Curaçao in one week. I believe the cable we are laying goes from the Gulf of Mexico, USA to either the Caribbean or South America. I have done this work before and am looking forward to it. I was also a commercial diver 34 years ago for 7.5 years. Hopefully, I will remain with ship company for the rest of my career which is likely less than 5 more years. They have been in operation for 160 years.

This is the sort of technology we don't hear much about. We always hear about machine learning, or legged robots, or smartphones, or camera drones, or the Mars rover. We forget there's more to technology than the popular stuff we see on Facebook or Instagram.

It’s like when you were younger and connected two cups and a wire to talk to your sibling, only on a much larger scale.

Question: Since those cables look prone to be subject of sabotage by terrorists or similar, they should hypothetically often be fought over due to their magnitude regarding globalization. Why isn't that the case?

As a network engineer respect for all engineers

[BenJosephWorld]

How did I end up getting an energy lesson when I clicked to see how repairing cables are dangerous

[kirkwilliams]

Wow, your videos are so edifying ; I learnt a lot. Thanks for sharing

[bsmtaxes]

I will not complain about my AT&T bills again.
