    Facebook to beam the Internet from the sky using lasers


    Posted: 05 Jul 2015
    When your core business is essentially dependent on the Internet, it makes sense that you'd want everyone to have access to the Internet as well. Google has its Project Loon and Facebook has Internet.org. Of course, those are lofty goals, but the question is always "how". Unlike Google's balloons, Facebook will be using satellites, drones, and lasers. Yes, lasers. Mark Zuckerberg has just posted online, on his Facebook account no less, a teaser of what's to come, with lasers being shot from the sky to deliver the Internet, and Facebook, to everyone.

    Will those lasers be on stun, or on kill?

    I would also be very concerned with people who have pacemakers in them or other similar medical device, no I don't any device that is electronic.

    I'd be more concerned for the people glued to Facebook.
