A Plan to Turn Every Lightbulb Into an Ultra-fast Alternative to Wi-Fi

[Vitalux]

One of the marvels about life, is how every surprising the capabilities happen as technology increases.

I am wondering if using light to transfer this data could be more healthy for us.
There has been in the past some discussion and/or concern as for all the energy of wireless signals playing havoc with our health. :ohwell:

Thought it would be good to share with others. :grouphug:

Current wireless networks have a problem: The more popular they become, the slower they are. Researchers at Fudan University in Shanghai have just become the latest to demonstrate a technology that transmits data as light instead of radio waves, which gets around the congestion issue and could be ten times faster than traditional Wi-Fi.

Using Li-Fi, a standard proposed just two years ago, LED bulbs can be altered to transmit data around ten times as fast the fastest Wi-Fi networks.

Very interesting, but just wondering what new problems this might cause us Hmm?
Eyes are great receptors for light :)

So hows this work? Everytime you turn on a light, an signal is released? Are the able to suck infor from just having a light on that will possibly scan all surroundings?

We shall see, eh?

I guess that's one way to wake up the masses to become more enlightened.

Looks like a great alternative, and no more harm done than existing fluorescent bulbs... I would definitely use this tech if it becomes available.
