There is a fort on the coast of Kenya.
Mombassa to be exact.
The fort is Portugese.
And it is a 'world heritage' site.
Inside are fibre optic cables.
6 to be exact.
3 go one way.
3 the other.
Along these wires, and wires like them,
Criss crossing across the ocean bed, these wires are the internet.
The world wide web.
To be exact there is no 'cloud map' nor is there technically an ethernet.
What we have here is wire.
Electricity and connectivity.
To be exact it is not wizardry.
