Right now, you're probably sitting on your couch with a laptop in your lap, a tablet in your hands, or a smartphone in your palm.
You're moving around the Internet, sending emails, watching videos, and reading this post.

There are no wires connecting you to the Internet, no hoses pumping, and no gears whirring.
It all seems very airy - almost magical.

These places require lots of people to keep running
