Thoughts on the social impacts of information and communication technology policy.
How one clumsy ship cut off the web for 75 million people | Technology | The Guardian
I have always been a fan of the Wired section entitled “Infoporn,” and the image linked to this story about the undersea internet wires being cut certainly qualifies. This is also a good story about what some might call the “invisible” internet infrastructure.
John is a PhD candidate at the University of Wisconsin - Madison School of Journalism and Mass Communication. He studies the social impact of media technology law and policy, with a special emphasis on copyright.
John doesn't update his blog often, and many of the thoughts are probably half-baked. While the web has sort of an eternal memory, the current and future reader is urged not to take all of this too seriously.
Think of this blog as "John thinking out loud."
