          I don’t see how the whole world Internet could rely on cable under the ocean when my phone cable might last barely a year and it just sits in my car, not under water. It’s like computers that control airplanes or NASA, but i constantly have to restart in order to get an email attachment.

            Mass produced to be as cheap as possible, vs carefully built and engineered to last as long as possible.

      They’re fiber optic these days, and often include rebroadcasters and signal boosters. That cannot be considered low-tech.
