Many thanks to @aleesteele for the engaging #Internet #infrastructure Walk today! 🙏 From telegrams to satellite internet, or from the London BT Tower "official secret" to the intentionality needed to make a call using public phones, learned much about how #tech infrastructure abstracts away the politics of how we connect. ☎️
Also wonderful seeing @da5nsy! ❤️
👍 Thumbs way up, highly recommended! Si
