"When you clicked on this story that server heard you, retrieved our words and images from the magnets, and then shipped them to you through a branching maze of wires and computers.
The very last computer in our data center took those words and did something miraculous with them: It transformed them into light.
Those pulses of light crossed under the streets to another computer, on another network, which decided where to send them next. Then another computer did the same thing. Then another.
Depending on where you are sitting now, our words could have touched (and changed) dozens of other computers on their way to you."
