See how the British Empire enabled an otherwise rickshaw runner to move to London, be educated, join a USA company which paid him to goof around with glass fibre in cahoots with others: <In 1966, Kao and another young engineer named George Hockham published a theory that suggested how signal loss could be greatly reduced so that glass communication lines could run for kilometers instead of just a few meters. >

George Hockham obviously had something to do with it too. Not to mention others.

The Super-colony reaches into the murk of China, India and elsewhere and frees the local yokels from the throttling tentacles of their merciless totalitarian bosses.

Hooray for the British Empire, harbinger of civilisation across the planet: <All intersect at a laboratory in London where in 1963, a 30-year-old Kao began experiments that culminated in the proof of a visionary concept - that strands of glass fibers thinner than human hair and cheaper to produce than fishing line can transmit near-limitless amounts of digitized data on pulses of laser light. >

Note the extensive litany of inventiveness required to deliver these pixels to you. It was good that he was able to take a tiny part in the process. greatachievements.org
