I also talked with a Google engineer responsible for the company's internal network map - something I could see in real time for myself. He was a very friendly Australian guy and loved the idea of building a broader map. My mad scientist idea (which they'd never approve) was to turn all Android devices into a botnet, periodically trace-routing connections and sending that up to a centralized server.

Someone heard me discussing this and mentioned that Vint Cerf worked at the company and might know. So I DM’d him on Google Chat and he responded with a message about how he didn’t design the Internet to be measured like that but the best tool available would be BGP forwarding tables. I made sure to forward that email to my personal address when I quit.

You could say "a computer is just a tool". But then observe the lives of many people waking up to look at a screen, looking at a screen whenever they have a free moment, looking at a screen all day for their job, looking at a screen after work to relax, looking at a screen in the moments before they go to sleep.
