we didn't have a falling out with the anglos
they had beef with Germany and the rest of Europe got trapped in the middle
Yea I know
so what patents did he get?
This website has a few of his patents
https://patents.justia.com/inventor/thomas-o-mensah
so optical fiber things
I mean I'm not saying it's worthless
but it doesn't really impact the world as much as say combustion or jet engines.
Nope you dont even know what fibre optics do lol.
Where have you been living?
Under a rock?
And he contributed to nanotechnology
most of those things were already done with copper wire
it made things slightly faster
as opposed to the combustion engine which made transport affordable.
Especially combined with Henry Ford's production line
Copper wire is in no way comparable to fiber optic cable.
You mong.
again its not really earth shattering
It is.
it's not like there was definitive a pre and post optical cable world.
Your internet would be super slow without it
Yes there was you fucking mong.
Jesus, the amount of data that transfered, and for a fraction of the cost, allowed science to coordinate and experiment on a level never seen before.
@Ironronin is too dumb to even comprehend it lol<:okayboomer:659819791548284938>
Too young.
Oh he is young
Modems baby
Poor him

Africans are better than dutch

Fiber isnt avaiable in my region

some of you guys are still talking Dutch
