Fiber Optic Communication is the transmission of information from one place to another by sending a pulse of light using optical fibers which are made up of either glass or plastic fiber. This innovative technology allows for a faster more secure form of transmitting information over greater distances and at higher bandwidths. Although this technology has been around for quite some time now, other than our government, military, and corporate America not everyone has access to such faster more efficient forms of technology. Eventually all of the world will switch to this type of transmission of information to replace the old way of metal wires which can at times lose some information that could ultimately affect the data being streamlined from one location to another. As soon as either this technology becomes more well known or more cost efficient this should revolutionize the way our society transmits information whether through a simple email or even a social setting online such as Twitter.
I don't have cable at my house, but my father has Verizon Fios, it is so incredibly sweet! I love it, so interesting when you look at the difference in between the Fios and then the basic cables. The Fios are so much clearer, it makes the world of different when watching sports or small detailed film. It will be interesting to see how far fiber optics will go.
