I know there are internet cables that travel deep across the ocean floor…

And I know they send information in the form of light down these tiny tubes of glass about the size of a human hair…

But HOW does this video become lightwaves?

You know every video is a bunch of 1s and 0s. So we need to alter the wave of light to represent 1s and 0s. Here’s how.

The amount of information we can send this way is INSANE. So when you’re scrolling, think about waves of light down glass tubes on the bottom of the ocean!
