Japan just downloaded the future

? Japan has set a new world record for data transmission speed: 1.0-2 petabits per second.
That’s about a million times faster than your home Wi-Fi when you’re trying to watch YouTube.
And it’s all done over regular fiber-optic cable – just slightly upgraded. No need to beam tech from Mars – the cable is already underfoot.

What can you do in one second at that speed?

• Download all of Netflix – not a series, not a season – the entire platform, 100 times.
• Transfer the entire Library of Congress – 20 times, back and forth.
• Upload the full Steam library, with all mods, patches and bugs – in one click.
• Download music for 127,500 years of non-stop listening. Press play – and disappear into eternity with no pauses or repeats.
• Back up the entire internet. Yes, everything. Even those old forum recipes from 2006 and your embarrassing photos from MySpace.

On a serious note:

• This is a breakthrough for AI, cloud computing, telemedicine, holographic calls, and the metaverse.
• It could accelerate every industry where speed matters – from scientific research to self-driving transportation.
• And most importantly – in 5-10 years, it could reach regular users.
  By 2035, you’ll be complaining your petabit line is lagging again – and asking, “where’s my promised zettabit?”
