Africa Connected, Innovation, and SEO Secrets

8 minutes

In today's episode of "10 Minutes with Sami", we analyze three fascinating pieces of news from the world of technology and engineering. We start with Google's plans to build the first underwater cable connecting Africa with Australia, a project that promises to improve connectivity in a continent historically affected by digital infrastructure challenges. Then, we move on to Toyota, which has unveiled a new line of compact and adaptable engines, compatible with a variety of fuels, including hybrids and biofuels, as part of its strategy towards carbon neutrality.

Finally, we discuss the shocking leak of internal Google documents that reveal unprecedented details about its search ranking algorithm. These documents provide information on more than 14,000 ranking features and contradict some of the company's past public statements. Don't miss this episode where we break down how these developments could change the global tech landscape.
