A correction: At 1:30(ish) - I mean 1837 rather than 1937. A further correction: At 0:28 - Faraday invented the first electric motor, not battery. Faraday built on Alessandro Volta's work after creating the Voltaic pile. ANOTHER correction: At 13:00 This should be 100 for 2,000 miles. Although closer to 200 were needed for the longer distances these cables were span across. This is my fault for trying to error check at 3am with no coffee.

British Engineer *WildMan WhiteHouse* tried to _force a higher voltage_ down the line to _force the messages_ through. This just _FRIED the cable_ until it stopped working!" That early cabling never could have worked especially with an impure core resistance too much like a heating element. But in the history books/vid streams a poor single loley British Engineer really took the fall for frying it. Maybe he should have awaited further opinions but still perhaps a bit unfairly, with it arguably making little difference? At least it finally proved to all that a MUCH more thought out approach in every way was needed! Continuing the water analogy, _current_ is still used and I've heard China interuses pressure with amperage. ;]

@referral madness Well, within reason, how new and difficult a technology is/was, can be measured by the prices of using them. I am 27 years old. My parents needed to go to special "phone call centrals" to call their parents (Sweden to Lebanon) when I was a child (I don't remember that), but what I remember is how expensive it was later, when you could buy "call-cards" with a code to type in. (Call operator of card > input unique code of bought card > input overseas number to actually call) A 40 min call could cost 100 SEK (~$14 counting on the earliest exchange rate I could find, from 2003). Also, these cards "minutes" would often get reduced too quick, especially when the line would be shaky and drop, and you needed to make new call. 100 kr/14 dollars 17 years ago was obviously worth more than they do today, and we're not even talking about transatlantic undersea cable-carried calls!

Hi - I worked in BT Submarine Cable R&D for more than 20 years, and I wish that your video had existed as introductory material for our students and other visitors! In working on projects from TAT8 to TAT14 and beyond, I must say that the work was fascinating, with a mix of things large (ships) and small (photons and fibres), and things that never change (waves, rock abrasion, repeater housings) and things changing all the time (components, transmission methods, network topology, industry alliances). Anybody with an 'engineering mind' would certainly find a happy place in one of the companies currently operating in the field! Many people still think of satellites as the 'modern thing' whereas the reality is that for long haul traffic they were out of the picture decades ago. I would be surprised if they even amount to 1% now, though I suppose there will always be islands too small to support the cost of a cable landing even from a branching unit on another cable. Thanks for your video.

Modern practice is to pull up old optical fibre cables when they are no longer economically useful. In many cases they can then be laid somewhere else where the lower performance is still good enough. And pulling up the old cable will release the well-studied cable route for a new cable, which can result in a better-engineered system for a more reliable service - winners all round.

Love the TVOntario Bits and Bytes shout-out. Great show.

I stumbled across the video and it started out with Faraday and the telegraph. It seemed a bit early to start, but you made this the foundation with telegraphs and moved smoothly into fiber optics.

Sadly, we are only allowed to remember the heinous things we did.

@@krashd Yes, mostly pushed by postmodern cultural marxists that hate western institutions and who've infected academia and the media with anti-western propaganda. Social engineering that the latest generation has all but been totally indoctrinated with. Progressives are anything but. They are rightly called Regressives..

@@noeuro Depends which "west" you're talking about. The west used to be wonderful, a truly good and godly society, which is why it prospered so greatly. But the west today is truly evil and I hate it with a passion. My loathing of the west does not come from the media, I hate the media and they promote the idea that the west is good.

A wonderful historical presentation, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Hey, can I ask if you have forskin?

New subscriber. This is like a PBS-quality documentary.

awesome video i learned something new ;p

Fascinating! Great video! It's amazing how far we've come and where we're going!

Construction of the overland telegraph (through Alaska and Siberia) was being readied when the completion of the trans Atlantic cable killed it. Poles and wires were simply abandoned. The native people in British Columbia, Canada (on the proposed route) constructed bridges out of these materials. Telegraph creek, British Columbia was named as it was on the right of way, though no telegraph line was built there.

that was a lot of fun to watch. thanks for your work.

excellent content. Very well narrated. Thanks.

This has been on my recommended for months, I've finally decided to watch it and its freakin' awesome

You hinted at the shark earlier and I thought it was just a goofy thing to say. Then you showed one doing it. That's brilliant.

Sharks are attracted to the magnetic field around a cable, which might interfere with its navigation using the natural magnetic field. Might make it angry enough to bite. A major cable near Canary Isles was taken out by a shark bite, so cables likely to be bitten now have a thin layer of metal foil added which is strong enough to stop a tooth. Problem solved.

Nice work, sir.. Have you been to the telegraph museum in Porthcurno? It was the first thing that came to mind as the video started to play...

This is so well put together, and nothing like I expected

Excellent, bravo, well done! I enjoyed every second, thank you so much!

I love the story of undersea coms. You presented that well :)

Excellent video, it's all about the presentation.
