Description
Thousands of drinking straws create a pixelated portrait by guiding light through each hollow tube—the exact same principle behind fiber optic internet cables! Inside fiber optics, light bounces through the glass core using total internal reflection, traveling at 200,000 km/s. That's why fiber internet can transmit massive amounts of data almost instantly.
