This is how the world connects In three years more than 300,000 kilometers of submarine cable will have been deployed     In the era of Wi-Fi, bluetooth, 4G or even 5G, under the world's waters, an immense network of cables that could go around the world continues to be woven. A fabric that began its deployment in 1866 to provide data communication through telegraphs. At the end of the 19th century, hundreds of boats sailed the seas and oceans, during their voyage, to 'pick up' thousands of kilometers. A work that has not changed in anything with the passage of time. Seated on the seabed, the cables are prepared to withstand marine animals, ship anchors or strong ocean currents.    A connection that connects continents and that are capable of transmitting about 3,840 gigabits per second in each fiber optic thread. "The length of submarine cables deployed in 2017 has been unmatched with that of any other year since the previous market boom in 2004, when 74...

90% of teens have mobile and profile on Instagram Less than a quarter of students have received training to develop critical thinking with which to assess content and how to protect their personal data     Almost all young people have at least one 'smartphone' (90%) and many have three or more devices (75%).
