Hello Everyone welcome, in today's post we are gonna discuss the impact of high-speed internet over others


The Internet has become one of the essential needs of human beings in our day to day life, we cannot spend even a single day without access to the internet, but what are we doing with this insane access to the internet? Are we doing any business that requires to be online?

Are we contributing to the world economy so it is mandatory to be available all the time?


The answer is ..a big noo...anyway at this pandemic situation we are depending on the internet I agree... also most of the jobs need access to the internet, but is the internet speed matters?


Let's talk about that!


How does internet work?


Now you are reading this blog through your mobile or lap using your internet connectivity that could be either WiFi or cellular. How did you get the internet inside your house?

Well pretty straight forward, your WiFi router is been connect with the internet provider's cable which is further connected to the internet hub. There comes the mind-blowing technology !! yes we are getting internet through oceans. Fiber optic cable is laid across the ocean to connect with other countries/continents.


Example:

I'm posting this content, so it will be converted into binary (0's and 1's) each given a header address so it can be identified later to reorganize and the radio frequency will be emitted based on the bite. But how a word or information can be transmitted through a virtual medium called Radiofrequency? Yes, to transmit binary then the frequencies will be transmitted accordingly based on the bites(0 & 1). The frequency receivers at another end will identify this and recreate the content respectively, this is called Frequency modulation

Now my content is been transmitted to the router through frequency, but you might have seen that the routers will be connected with wires which will be directed to the service provider's hub. From there it is decided to choose the cable to which the required content needs to be reached based on the Header address. for instance, If I'm sharing my content with my friend's email (who is in a different country) so the reaching address would be the email. Based on the location the desired cable will be decided since it needs to be shared through fiber optic cables which are under the ocean. once the data reaches its desired location that information again it will be transmitted to the tower to catch its receiver.


Such a big task is been executed in a fraction of seconds !! That's why it would take 0.2 secs to share information all over the world. The transmission time will be based on the size of the file which we share.


We don't need to go deeper into its architecture, let's focus on how it works at a higher level and dive further important topics that forced me to blog this!!


Is the speed of the internet matter?


Everyone would say yes, but as we all know too much of anything always leads to disaster!!

Currently the average speed of the internet as per below:

On average it will take 1 hour 18 minutes to download 5 GB in India additionally India ranked 89th all over other countries by average internet speed. Its peak would be 41.4 Mbit/s.


Things need to know about internet speed:


  • Bandwidth – Bandwidth measures the total number of frequencies, or capacity, a network connection can handle at any given moment.

  • Broadband – Broadband basically tells you how fast your internet connection is.

  • Bit – Internet speed is measured in bits per second (bps). This is the smallest unit of computer information, so you’ll often see internet speeds referred to as megabits per second (Mbps).

  • Byte – 1 byte is equal to 8 bits. We use bytes to refer to how much memory is available or being transferred.

  • Download – This is the measure of how quickly information from external sources is received by your router.

  • Upload - which is nothing but how faster your information is shared to the external source

  • Latency – Latency measures the delay in data transfer, telling you how fast data gets from a source to its destination.

  • Mbps – 'Megabits per second' is how we gauge internet speeds. This number represents the bandwidth of an internet connection, which is how much data can be transferred each second.

  • MBps – 'Megabytes per second' measures the file size when talking about how much data can be transferred each second. You might also see this figure represented as MB.

Types of the internet:

  • Dial-up – Dial-up uses a phone line connection, which means there’s no broadband connection.

  • DSL – Digital Subscriber Line uses copper wires (similar to phone lines) which can accommodate a broadband connection. It’s faster than dial-up but caps out at about 3 Mbps.

  • ADSL – Asymmetric Direct Subscriber Line is the same as a DSL connection except it focuses on fast download speeds instead of upload speeds.

  • Cable – This type of internet connection uses coaxial cables (the same ones as cable TV) and is known to have high-speed capabilities. Coaxial cables can carry data faster than copper wires.

  • Satellite – Satellite internet doesn’t rely on wires or cables. Instead, data is sent up into the air, where satellites receive it and send it back down to its destination.

  • Fiber – Instead of phone lines, coaxial cables, or copper wires, fiber uses fiber-optic cables that can handle larger amounts of data at a time. This makes it the fastest internet connection available.


What is the difference between 2G/3G/4G/5G and so on:

It is purely about 'G' Generation, and the maximum speed it delivers

Here it is a comparison

Are we compromising our life for technology??

5G is going to operate on the frequencies ranges from 28GHz to 100GHz which is 1000 times faster than the existing 4G network. It cannot travel great distances or pass through objects, the shorter length millimeter waves used in 5G need strengthening via booster antennas positioned on average every 150 meters (500 feet).


In addition to the mobile phone towers already dotted across rural and urban areas, the need to enhance frequency levels for 5G networks could soon see booster antennas positioned on street signs, street lights,, and even post boxes (if they still exist then) in a bid to ensure a stable connection for users.


2G, 3G, and 4G technologies have shown that stress, sperm,and testicular damage, neuropsychiatric effects, including changes to electrical activity in the brain, cellular DNA damage, and calcium overload can all occur in humans as a result of exposure to EMFs. Research Center for Electromagnetic Environmental Compatibility at Germany’s University of Aachen points that there is a connection between radiofrequency field and cancer in rate.

The most restrictive limits on whole-body exposure are in the frequency range of 30-300 MHz where the human body absorbs RF energy most efficiently when the whole body is exposed!!


The results of this study and International Commission of Non-Ionization Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) reports showed the people who spend more than 50 minutes a day using a cell phone could have early dementia or other thermal damage due to the burning of glucose in the brain


What is Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Disorder??


“a phenomenon where individuals experience adverse health effects while using or being in the vicinity of devices emanating electric, magnetic, or electromagnetic fields”


Some scientists and clinicians acknowledge the phenomenon of hypersensitivity to EMR resulting from common exposures such as wireless systems and electrical devices in the home or workplace World Health Organization as well as some nation-states are carefully exploring this clinical phenomenon to better explain the rising prevalence of non-specific, multi-system, often debilitating symptoms associated with non-ionizing EMR exposure. As well as an assortment of physiological complaints, patients diagnosed with EHS also report profound social and personal challenges, impairing their ability to function normally in society. However, they could lead to increased body temperature, especially in the head and neck, who have a low threshold dose and increases the probability of injury if there is long-term exposure to these waves. Mobile phones emit RF waves even when they are in standby mode.


When using mobile phones, various factors should be considered, such as the duration, location, and method of use, to reduce the possible effects of exposure to radiation in the RF. The most important factors that influence human exposure are power density of the frequency generator source, distance from the source, type and thickness of the exposed beams, and frequency (penetrated depth) of the RF input signal to the body.WHO officially stated in its 2005 fact sheet 296 indicating that “EHS resembles MCS, another disorder associated with low-level environmental exposure to chemicals …” and that because of “non-specific symptoms” and “no clear diagnostic criteria”, this “disabling condition” could not be diagnosed medically.


Also, in 2002 and 2013, WHO classified extremely low frequencies (ELF) and radio frequencies (RF) respectively as possibly carcinogenic (group IIB), meaning that EMFs may cause cancer.

So far 2000 EHS cases have been reported worldwide from 2009 also EHS and MCS are characterized by a common similar clinical picture which can be identified objectively by the detection of similar biomarkers in the peripheral blood and urine

Conclusion:

Hope you all got what I'm trying to convey, we should be aware of what is going in and out of society as well as our very own OS (body). We created technology to uplift human value and business. But it seems we overly focused on business and left humans behind the tolerance bar!!. now it became very sensitive and out of control. Every living thing in this world deserves good health and shelter if that is the case are we care about that ??No....if we cared then this would have been taken in a different way of innovation. i strongly suggest that we need innovations and technologies but what are we going to do with that? is that increasing human value? if it isn't at least it could have been harmless right! For sure we need to reconsider using high-frequency networks which requires another row of groundbreaking innovation
