I'm a professor of physics,
but I'm also a futurist.
And I say, when you think
about the future,
hold onto your hats.
Every once in a while,
there is this technology
which changes the entire
landscape.
We have a paradigm shift,
a game changer,
like for example the coming
of the printing press
with moveable type.
Within just a few years,
we had almost a million
manuscripts 
circulating throughout Europe.
And that set into motion
one of the greatest transitions 
and that is the Renaissance.
A renaissance of knowledge.
5G technology should be seen
in that light.
We're talking about unleashing
the floodgates.
When you first hear about 5G
you learn that it's maybe
100 times faster than 4G
and you say to yourself,
“Great. Wow. My favorite movie
in just a few seconds.”
And then you say to yourself,
“is that all?
I mean just faster downloads,
getting a Hollywood movie
in a matter of seconds?
Is that it?”
No.
I think in the future
the internet will be
in your contact lens.
You will simply blink
and have access
to the entire storehouse of
knowledge on the planet Earth.
There are millions of Americans
that do not have easy access
to broadband technology
and that's where 5G comes in
'cause they realize the
importance of being connected
to the rest of the world.
That's a precious
commodity-connectedness.
Think of what that's gonna do
to society's productivity.
To our interconnectedness.
To our job market.
To the economy.
To enrich and empower our lives.
