Good morning, civilized countries already fiber optic infrastructure

   Now if lasers could perform a similar feat on a computer-chip-sized
   scale that would be something.

Why?

Chips do not need to communicate internally with serial pipe lines.

Chip internal communications already match fiber optic speeds.

Chip internals have nothing to do with "could make the Internet faster".

Computers have used fiber optics for module intercommunications for decades.

Seems to me this is much ado about nothing.

Wormley is a moron. And the fat journalists in cubicles at Phys.Org are 
even bigger morons than Wormley (I know that is hard to imagine but I 
swear it's truth)

Gosh, jimp, fiber optics are made out of extreme pure glass! Are you 
amazed. These ignorant libs haven't a CLUE how fiber optics work. They 
don't have a CLUE about any science. This is why they all flunked every 
science course they ever took (and aced every creative writing course).

Does this ignorance and bullshit remind you of anyone here? Like say HVAC?
