Samsung Electronics said on Monday it had successfully tested super-fast fifth-generation (5G) wireless technology that would eventually allow users to download an entire movie in one second.

I just upgraded to 4g, and it's still too expensive.

No, I dont use a smart phone.
My phone is about 6 years old. I bought a recycled one so that i would have a clean conscience about all of the thousands of people that are dying and being murdered in the congo each year making phones, so that you can upgrade yours every 4 months and have a shiney new one.

From the CNN article:

Quote:
...and you have a message that is difficult to ignore: the cell phones, laptops, digital cameras and other products we have come to rely on link all of us to the conflict in Congo.


Best to not use a computer ever again, just to be certain.

my computer is also recycled and since buying my camera, ive only ever had it repaired. Id buy a new one if it was beyond redemption.

I do what i can, but im not perfect.

Which is better than doing nothing and then criticising others for doing something
