And i love that quote, because it suggests the existence of another - very slow, but very high troughput network, human to human, embedded device to embedded device. You could even go without centralized infrastructure there.
Just the organisms formed by the devices ( a line of home-routers is a "street", a group of devices meeting every morning is a "bus" etc.) and the routing address is basically a "interaction" with data-organism map route-finding. No ISP involved anywhere. But your info still gets to the airport, hops on a cellphone and gets to the goal.

- bcrl 2y agoIt's just like how we once used UUCP and Fidonet for email / news / message boards to remote systems that only had intermittent dialup connectivity in the 1980s and 1990s. Pockets of local communities would pool together to share a single system that would make the long distance calls to another city to send and receive messages. That really helped when long distance cost $0.34/minute and could be shared by hundreds of end users.

Contactor laptops are a major part of that network.
