Okay, for most of us, Wi-Fi is … irritatingly slow, and while we have the entire knowledge of mankind 30 seconds away, our attention span and our patience are … too short, so what are the alternatives? [Intro] It turns out that there is, and it's called Li-Fi, and it is essentially smart LED lights transmitting data at up to 224 gigabits per second, while regular Wi-Fi generally transmits at 600 megabits per second. Li-Fi was invented back in 2011 by Harald Haas of the University of Edinburgh. B
asically, the way it works is that it flashes on and off to send a binary code to other receivers, and don't worry, the flickering occurs way too quickly for a human to perceive, so it shouldn't be annoying at all, unless you have superpowers. Unfortunately, there are some drawbacks. We only really have prototypes right now, and they have trouble broadcasting through walls, and they don't work well when the lights are turned off, because they kind of are the lights. On the bright side, though, i
t's featured on Positive News, which means it's just a prototype, and more modifications will be made over the next few years, but after that, we may see the start of a new internet system that's up to 100 times faster than normal Wi-Fi. Thank you for watching this video, especially if you had to wait for 3 hours while it loaded.
