It still amazes me, even in a world where I can order starlink. That it works with the other 200 people onboard also using it is incredible.

- globular-toast 2y agoWe should all take a moment to appreciate the internet. Soon (if not already) we'll be in a time where most people take it for granted, but few think about what is actually happening. The internet lets you send a packet of data to any other computer on earth, as long as it is connected to the internet. To get that access yourself you only need to connect to the internet somehow, that's it. So sure there are more difficult cases like planes, about they only have to worry about their own particular problem of the last mile, once the data has reached the internet it can go anywhere. Imagine if the planes also had to make arrangements with BBC, Google, governments etc to get data access. It would never happen.
