No, but you...you...you're thinking of this place all wrong, as if I had the internet back in one place. The, the internet's not here. Well, the internet's in Joe's house...
that's right next to yours. And in the Kennedy House, and Mrs. Macklin's house, and, and a hundred others.

I probably won't get a serious answer here, but I'll try anyways. How does the internet/phone lines span the ocean? Are there fiber obtic or copper cables along the ocean floor or are satellites used? (I assume it's not satellites because you could make phone calls across the world before satellites were in space).

That makes sense. lobster magnets create an electrical field to send data across the ocean. Why didn't I think of that?

I have an ethernet cable that runs from my bedroom to Tokyo.

The internet is at the center of the earth. Inside the core of the earth there is a HUGE router, that connnects all servers from all over the world together.

And on that router, is a really, really massive SilenX fan, that runs at .1dbA and moves over 7 billion CFM of air, that it sucks in through big SilenX sponsored wells.

Also, Google is just a PM service to really smart people, who have memorized every webpage, EVAR.

It was copper a while back. Now fiber optic cables litererally spanning the oceans.

No satellites are used. They are too slow, too expensive and too much latency. These days with the advances in optics and optical multiplexors you can squeeze just about whatever your want out of a single strand of fiber and just turn up/on different wavelengths of light.

... it had spread into millions of computer servers across the planet.
Ordinary computers in office buildings, dorm rooms, everywhere.
It was software in cyberspace.
There was no system core. It could not be shut down.
