👽 martin

Internet appreciation post. I’m lay on my couch in Vietnam. It’s 21:30. I’m chatting to my mother who’s walking over to the beach in the Dominican Republic. It’s 10:30 in the morning for her. We’re so far apart that she can see the sun and I can’t.

Our voices, encoded into chunks and packeted across a vast distance over the internet via a multitude of devices, cables, signals, etc. means we can chat like we were in the same room.

That’s still wild to me… as a thing that actually works.
