- something about starlink and how that will never replace subsea cables with current technology, subsea cables send 99% of international data or something wil
- something about the interaction with and perception of wireless technologies like mobile data/5g/4g and wifi and how the subsea cable based infrastructure, labour involved in keeping it running, and the impacts on people and nature are all invisiblised.

- Filter bubbles
- Real?
- Aggressive funneling
- Internet virality predetermined by algorithms
- Sociopolitical impact of internet and web technology on marginalised peoples
- Starlink as poor replacement for subsea cables
- Perception of wireless technologies
- Cable based infrastructure maintenance
- Labour
- invisibilisation
