Undersea Cable Network Operates in a State of Alarm

Over 99% of communications and networks are run through transoceanic cables. These cables are operated by underground electricians, who often keep their identity secret because the level of information is incredibly private and protected. Every time there is a bug in one of the servers, an alarm sounds for the electrician to fix the bug. The alarms are categorized by the electricians as human ailments like a network “headache”, “ache”, or further, which relates the networks’ health to the health of a human. The electricians that work in the field only have a knowledge of a very specific section of their networks to provide an additional level of security because if a hacker got into the cables or server, the entire international network system could come crashing down. The electricians are worried, however, about the future of their industry. Because so many of them have been working for thirty years or longer, they barely have any other generations of workers or workers in training to perfect the craft for the future. The electricians, therefore, need to figure out a way to make their profession more visible without introducing an unwanted amount of attention for their secretive and extremely important jobs.
