hope it goes better than when they carried it in tubes.
Its a series of tubes.
Its seared in my brain.
It's not a dump truck!
The part I hate is how many overconfident internet technicians will be like "well ackshually the metaphor isn't that far off" completely missing the very important difference between an information channel and a power channel and what the capacity limits are for each.
For example, free space is a pretty great information channel, but it absolutely sucks for reliably transmitting fluids.
Also, the fact that in context, it was coming from an ignorant old man ranting on the floor of Congress while trying to pass an anti-net nutrality bill. The fact that the analogy even kinda works is an accident and missing the bigger problem.
