How 5g change your life
If you look up into the corner of your phone you're probably used to seeing a little indicator that says 4G LTE or 3G or god forbid 2g and you've come to understand that. It probably has something to do with your phone's connection to your mobile network.
The higher the G the faster the connection it's pretty easy to follow. The G stands for generation and each subsequent generation refers to a specific minimum speed connectivity and reliability necessary to classify that network as a particular generation.
1g let us talk to each other 2g let us send messages 3G gave us broad data and Internet and 4G LTE made it a whole lot faster but all that's in the soon-to-be past because up on the horizon is 5g and while you may be thinking that 5g is just a little faster a little more reliable and a little newer.

It's actually a massive breakthrough that's gonna change the way devices connect to the internet and more importantly to each other. In fact as 5g rolls out over the next 2 years it's going to change.
Well everything with a wireless connection which at this point is well pretty much everything so what's so special about a 5g future well first of all it's fast like really fast like 20 gigabits per second over wireless fast like a hundred to 250 times faster than 4G because by comparison 4G provides speeds on average of about 10 to 20 megabits a second so that's like going from streaming one Netflix movie in HD to streaming 400 movies in 8k at the same time and while that's really impressive that's not the most impressive part what sets 5g aside is it's crazy low latency rate.
which is the amount of delay between the sending and receiving of information now 4G tends to average about 100 to 200 milliseconds and to be fair a hundred milliseconds is fast human reaction time is about 200 to 300 milliseconds but 5g will get it down to one millisecond that's almost real-time and being able to send and receive information in what is essentially real-time means that we can use 5g to replace real time interactions what does that mean with 5g you'll be able to interact with people objects or characters controlled by someone else with no lag on either side so play a real-time.
A network of self-driving cars all sending data between each other and communicating with traffic lights Road sensors aerial drones and so on think about it human reaction speed is 200 milliseconds and we still have accidents every day.
Imagine if your car could react and communicate its reaction to hundreds of cars around it all within a millisecond not only could we end car accidents we could end traffic altogether hundreds of self-driving cars going lightning-fast to your destination with no risk that they'll hit each other because they all know exactly where they are in real-time reacting to the actual world around them autonomous or remotely controlled trains delivery trucks even airplanes could be on the horizon in the near future.
Imagine a fleet of drones flying over a field of crops using sensors on the ground to sort pick feed and water individual plants all on their own 5g will revolutionize the future and companies have already spent billions to set up their networks and to fundn new technologies that can use it but that's not to say 5g is perfect one major drawback has to do with why it's so fast see 5g uses a mix of

frequencies with most of the attention on the brand-new millimeter waves that are compared to the 15 to 40 centimeter long waves used by for jeans and shorter waves and higher frequencies have a massive problem they don't go very far whereas on a 4G network you can go 10 kilometres and barely lose signal 5g maxes out on about 300 metres and it can't go through walls or even bad weather like rain so what does that mean well it's a gift and a curse having such a short signal distance means building more transmitters a lot more transmitters like multiple transmitters every couple of hundred metres in every direction on the other hand. A couple years 5g is expected to be fully rolled out by March of 2020 and over the next two years we'll be slowly phased in and experimented with as sensors and transmitters are installed around the world.
