Starlink is a pet project of Elon Musk, aiming to surround the globe with thousands of low-orbit satellites 🛰 that will give you fast internet access pretty much anywhere.
Apparently 240 satellites are already up there.

The biggest likely circumstantial impact to you and I: places previously unsuitable for long-term habitation or business development by businesspeople due to poor connectivity will be suddenly be rendered green on the map.
Starlink means that you can go live in the woods in Siberia if you like, with relatively little impact to your team (presuming you already work with your team via an internet connection).
Cruise ships, undeveloped countries, remote forests, desert wandering: all become practically viable when you can receive 100+ Mbps anywhere outside of the (An/)Arctic circle you can see the sky.
Hundreds of cities and dozens of countries, fine for living but previously entirely unsuitable for a place of business, will blink from red to green on the map once Starlink goes live.
I like to think Starlink (or similar) will help reverse urbanization.
Why move to a big smelly city for work 💨 when you can live in some remote natural wonderland 🏝 and still earn $75k/year?
(Also, seasteading.)
