I understand your point, but at the same time, I don't want the same "it is like a series of tubes" guys mandating some airplane technology pushed by the highest campaign contribution either.
- Siddarth1977 4y agoI have a degree in computer science and a couple decades of experience with software development for, and deployment on, the internet. I think the metaphor of comparing internet bandwidth to pipes/tubes carrying water is perfectly apt. It seems like a very simple, direct and effective way to describe issues of bandwidth, connectivity, congestion and overall infrastructure. I've never quite understood why we all pretended like that was a bad analogy. I guess just because it came out of the mouth of an old, white Republican.
- hairofadog 4y agoIt's because his delivery of that analogy came across as unhinged and shouty, and he posited that emails from his staff took days to arrive because of Netflix.
