Internet Infrastructure: Undersea Cables When thinking about where the internet lives‚ it would be plausible to think it lies among high-tech satellites communicating around the world simultaneously – resembling something of a digital cloud. Instead‚ the internet does not resemble a cloud‚ but instead resides in a physical infrastructure in hundreds of cables snaking underground and along the bottom of the sea. In fact‚ overseas satellite links currently account for only roughly 2 percent of international

Another useful tool in the research and increased understanding of prokaryotic organisms is the optical microscope‚ or the light microscope‚ which is a type of microscope which uses visible light and a system of lenses to magnify images of small samples. The upside to using this form of microscope is that you are able to observe living organisms. However

In just about every other areas of music instruction‚ they encourage students to analyze‚ learn and steal from the greats. Guitar students start out by playing along to their heros. Singers sing along. Classical music students analyze Bach‚ Mozart‚ Beethoven and likes and learn what stylistic elements identify their compositions as their works.
