Liquid-Metal Antennas
- wardenclyfe 11y agoActive antennae like these + satellite Internet could make cabled communication completely obsolete (no more routers, no telephone lines, no cable lines)--all information could be from source to satellite to receiver and back. All devices could always be "online"--that distinction would go away, too, as there is no offline except when it's off. Big implications for product/feature design across the industry because you can always assume "on" = "connected," and with no "data" issues as seen on cellular connections today. Hugely interesting from the privacy perspective for the same reason.
