How The Internet Travels Across Oceans 99% of all internet traffic – from this video to your Pokemon Go account to your family WhatsApp group – runs on a hidden network of undersea cables. Why should you care? Because modern life is increasingly dependent on those slinky subaquatic wires. And they get attacked by sharks from time to time. https://youtu.be/yd1JhZzoS6A

Some where in future the internet will possibly be wireless. Optical fibre under water sea will be history.

  The advances point towards that, personally I believe that the internet is going to become biological, that is to say we will have specialized cells, made with special DNA sequences and biological materials (nothing synthetic) that will allow us to access the internet. When the first computer with about 100,000 qbits is put into operation in about 80 years, the solution to this type of problem can be found. At the moment, large companies such as IBM or Google only have computers with 100 or 200 qbits and they are excessively large in size, because that technology is just beginning to be developed. I name this thing about qbits because this type of PC will be capable of giving us solutions in a matter of seconds to problems as complex as those of developing a wireless internet.

    Agreed fully, qbits term is exactly presenting the technology in very near future.

The knowledge of it getting attacked by sharks is quite scary
