I've spent my entire career in technology and can still recall the time when a desktop PC was the only way to work. (Truth be told, I'm also old enough to remember dumb terminals.) I also remember my first company laptop -- a beast of a thing with a monochrome display so thick it came with an integrated 2.5" floppy drive and a battery life that made it barely usable. My first mobile phone was a Motorola Timeport, the first tri-band mobile phone that could work in Europe and North America.

The video streaming traffic that Akamai delivered for more than 30 rights-holding customers during the July 11 Italy-England football (soccer) final as part of the delayed-to-2021European soccer tournament peaked at 34.9 Tbps on the Akamai edge platform. The traffic peak during the final match was the highest that Akamai reached for the tournament and was nearly 5x greater than the 7.3 Tbps peak of the 2016 Portugal-France championship match. Traffic during the June 29, 2021, round-of-16 match between Germany and England was the second-highest peak for the tournament, reaching 33.9 Tbps; third-highest was the July 6 Italy-Spain semi-final at 32.6 Tbps.
