The fiber optic cables, which crisscross the oceans, create a network that unites the entire globe. Almost all the telephone calls, text messages, web pages, streaming videos, and podcasts that travel around the world do so through undersea fiber optic cables. Without these cables, our modern world would be very

Most coaches will instruct their players to use similar techniques.However, every so often, someone comes along who totally rethinks how a game can be played.

Seventy percent of the Earth’s surface is covered with water… and the vast majority of it is useless for consumption or agriculture.
