Franz, thank you so much for joining us.
Big pleasure.
I really appreciate it.
So having worked in an IT department about 10 years ago, upgrades weren't that frequent and it was like a big thing.
But the world we live in today, upgrades are quite frequent.
I think technology just changes so much faster.
But the infrastructure is critical infrastructure.
Like it cannot go down.
That's a really good question, Sam.
I think from my perspective, we've talked about this a lot, like let humans do the thing that humans are good at and let computers do the thing that computers are good at.
Yeah.
I think it's a testament to just how resilient our networks are because there was an outage from one of my phone networks last year and I was completely lost because I was like, how do I know if this is me?
How do I know if it's just me having an issue?
Because I can't actually check because I can't get on the internet.
So it was a slightly stressful day.
Maybe that also shows just how critical that infrastructure is.
And there are so many things like that, like public transport or phone networks or food supply chains or things like that where you don't really think about them until they stop working.
Anyway, to bring it back to networks, I liked when he said the way that this infrastructure is structured helps me sleep better at night.
And I think that's a good thing.
Technology is doing a good thing if it helps you sleep better at night.
