This reminds me of something I found out is streamed free on YT.
It's nearing 1/2 century old, but lays out the practicalities of the byzantine interconnectedness of modern life. How things became how they are and are so ingrained we've forgotten. . . .
It's several episodes, but the first one queues up the next and so on.
It's a little laconic in its progress, and a little . . . 70s . . . in it's presentation. But it's worth digesting. Kind of like a minor 'Cosmos' for everyday tech.
Also, an perhaps more importantly [time will tell] Netflix has a new pending series in the same vein . . . called, creatively, 'Connected' it explores the same type of stuff in a more modern journalistic manner. But it hasn't aired yet, so I have no input on it's worth or value.
