Called Li-Fi, it's a wireless internet technology that rapidly transmits data using flickering LED light fields between 400 and 800 terahertz. It's a process known as Visible Light Communication, which is like an advanced form of morse-code which, much like switching a torch on and off in a pattern that relays a message, the LED light flicks on and off at such extreme speeds that it can be used to write and transmit things in binary code
Cool but I wonder if visible light needs direct line of sight between PC and the router to work.
Always remember what you post, send or do on the internet is not private and you are responsible.
