      Telegraphs are really cool and, while the bandwidth is low, we could still send cat pictures iwth a relatively low-energy system in a world that adjusted its expectations.

          Lol. Everyone going to the data upload center to upload their stuff for the week before it gets put on the big hard drive on the train. And then the train goes to the nearest major city, downloads everything to the big archive, and comes back with a super-compressed updated index so you can make requests for data during next week’s run.
