Talk about web technology fundamentals

Juten Tach,

it’s nothing new and every speaker knows it, but i once again forgot it, when i held my last talk at the GoodSchool in Hamburg about Technology and the Internet: If you talk for some time, DRINK ! My talk went the whole evening, three hours and at the end, my throat hurt badly.

So note to myself: If you drive, don’t drink, if you talk, DO drink (doesn’t have to be with alcohol though ).

Besides that, i had quite some fun talking about fundamentals of internet technology. One thing, that i always like to point out to people, who start diving into the subject is, that one of the basic ingredients of the internet are: Cables !

There is a very informative map of submarine cables, that build the backbone of the internet today. So it’s not all virtual, the whole net is relying on very real stuff. The global internet map is just as interesting.
