New Scientist has posted a great vid detailing a major breakthrough in wireless information transfer that could dramatically increase download times and the overall speed of internet communication.

Using off the shelf components German researchers made the first wireless video transmission in the terahertz range – potentially 1000 times faster than existing wireless technologies.

Such a breakthrough seems totally necessary if exponential growth in technology and information is to continue, as those are both dependent on faster human-to-human, human-to-machine and machine-to-machine communication.
