A woman used 40Gbps internet connection to dry laundry!
April 1st, 2008Huh, hope everyone knows why we need Internet and the fastest. We want high speed broadband to browse seamlessly, download big files, to share files, to get knowledge, to find something or if not for watching youtube videos without any glitch.
But fellas, believe it or not, someone called swede used 40 Gbps Internet Connection to dry her laundry!
Here’s an excerpt taken from engadget:
Chances are, you could think of a million and one ways to totally take advantage of having a 40Gbps internet connection installed in your abode, but for one Sigbritt Löthberg — who actually had such a setup — she chose to take advantage of it in quite a perplexing way. Reportedly, the 75-year old dame wasn’t too interested in downloading an entire HD film in two seconds or having ping times more minuscule than the brain can fathom; rather, she chose to use the excess heat emitted from all the kit shoved in her house to “dry her laundry.” Unfortunately, the poor lady has had the gear removed from her domicile for further testing in another location, but according to Hafsteinn Jonsson, who is heading up the fiber network operation for Karlstad Stadsnät, they’re considering “giving her a 100Gbps [link] in the summer — then she’ll be able to dry all her neighbors’ laundry too.”
Crazy right ?
