A future full of light

Thirty years ago an experimental hair-thin glass thread changed the way we communicate, learn, work, and live. It has rapidly transformed today´s society and our expectations for the future. The story is not over. Today, the dynamic worldwide communications revolution continues. Where will it end? Researchers have proven that optical fiber can carry 5 Tb of information each second. And over the next ten years fiber-optic technology is expected to increase communications power a million fold, It has been shown that as long as scientists and engineers worldwide continue to invent the technology to send information at a lower cost per bit to one another, creative people will find a reason to send proportionally more bits.
