世界電気通信の日(sekai denki tushin no hi): World Telecommunication Day

They say May 17 is the World Telecommunication Day, one of the international days. This was established by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in 1968 and has been celebrated annually since 1969, marking the founding of ITU and the signing of the first International Telegraph Convention in 1865.
ITU is the leading United Nations agency for information and communication technology issues. It is based in Geneva, Switzerland, and its membership includes 191 Member States and more than 700 Sector Members and Associates.

Thanks to internet I can communicate with friends who live in the other side of the world every day.
