Facebook Laser Beams Will Offer Free Internet to the World from the Sky

Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg predicted some wild things for Future.During a wide-ranging online question-and-answer session on his Facebook page Tuesday. It includes:
  • Telepathy Technology, the ability for humans to talk to each other with their minds.
  • Laser Beams, used to transmit data from the sky to Earth.
  • Growth of Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality.

Mark Zuckerberg has posted a couple of demonstration pictures from its Connectivity Lab. 





According to Mark, the Connectivity Lab has developed a laser beam technology (as shown) that has the ability to transmit data from the sky into communities.

He has plans to equip drones and satellites with lasers to allow those laser-equipped devices to beam down Internet signals anywhere in the world.

If successful and practically implemented in Future, this project will "dramatically increase the speed of sending data over long distances." 

Year 2014 Facebook's Yael Maguire talks about the technologies we're working on that will make connectivity more affordable in communities around the world.
