Let's say we've made first contact with another internet-using species. We would *love* to send our latest cat video to them.

Naturally, our internet would work differently than theirs. They may be using different materials for their electronic switches, and their file formats would certainly be different than ours.

That said, many things would likely be the same: I assume that both would use binary for their information, and it would likely be based on electricity (for fast speeds).

Therefore, in order to transmit a video to their species, what would we likely need adapters for?
