Information Super Light Beams

I still remember dial-up internet in the mid 1990's.  Trying to download a 30 second porn clip was enough to drive me nuts!  

Boy have we come a long way.  This article talks about a technology called 'Twisted Light,' which can send data at a staggering 2.56 Terrabytes per second.

This may not mean much to some people so I will try to put it in terms of MP3s.  Lets say that an average MP3 on Itunes is 5 Megabytes.  That would mean about 200 songs to every Gigabyte.  And since there are 1000 Gigabyte per terrabyte...that means a TB could hold approximately 200,000 songs\!

Now imagine you could download 2.56 times that every second.  We are talking about 1,000,000 songs in only seconds.  Read the article if you're still interested.
