I have no clue who/what "The Verge" is, but they have written an online exposé about the many cables crisscrossing the oceans -- cables that literally keep the world running. My god, there are so many of them, and my god, there is a ton of maintenance required to keep them working!
My interest in the subject has been sharpened by a lifetime of electrical maintenance and a shorter experience aboard ships at sea. But if I had neither of those, I think I'd still be intrigued by the Verge's article.
People in general eat online information in small bites only. This particular article is a big bellyful, but it won't put you to sleep.
