Jebus! But they're right about fiber optics for internet connection. IT's so much faster because light doesn't have to deal with resistance, whereas electrical signals in metal encounter a lot, especially over long distances.

Most of you probably knew that already.

The Fearlessepidermis is right.

That sort of connection needs to be put to good use instead of...

I really don't want to go into the territory of what a 75 year old woman would use the Internet for.

Unless of course we were talking about Barb, the gamer grandma. I watched a video of her playing Resistance and have never been the same since.
