The average Internet user’s attention span is shorter than that of a goldfish.#-ad_banner-# It’s been estimated that Internet users have an attention span of eight seconds — one second less than a goldfish’s attention span. That makes speed in transmitting content across the Internet to desktops, tablets and smartphones more important than ever. That’s one of the biggest reasons researchers and scientists are racing toward the commercialization of a super-material with the ability to transmit data across the Internet 100 times faster than fiber optic cable. But that’s not its only extraordinary characteristic. This little-known substance is also… Read More
The average Internet user’s attention span is shorter than that of a goldfish.#-ad_banner-# It’s been estimated that Internet users have an attention span of eight seconds — one second less than a goldfish’s attention span. That makes speed in transmitting content across the Internet to desktops, tablets and smartphones more important than ever. That’s one of the biggest reasons researchers and scientists are racing toward the commercialization of a super-material with the ability to transmit data across the Internet 100 times faster than fiber optic cable. But that’s not its only extraordinary characteristic. This little-known substance is also 200 times stronger and six times lighter than steel, and close to being transparent. Those are just a few reasons why it is quickly gaining a reputation as a “miracle substance” with the potential to revolutionize multiple industries. I predict that within five years, this crystalline form of carbon — a one-atom-thick layer of graphite — will be on its way to being the vital building block in modern technology. And it could make early investors rich in the process. What exactly is this miracle substance? Graphene. And it’s not just the Internet it has the potential to revolutionize. Its… Read More
