Self-driving cars. Robotic surgeries. Toothbrushes that detect when you're sick.
This is the future 5G technology promises in less than a decade's time; internet
connections so fast they'll support an entirely new way of life.
But for now, I'm standing on an avenue in downtown Chicago waving my Samsung
Galaxy 5G smartphone around to find coverage that's not blocked by the tree to my left.
自驾车，机器人手术，能监测疾病的牙刷。
以上就是未来 5G 科技在十年内有望做成的事情。互联网连接速度是如此的快，以至于我
们的生活方式得以被完全的改变。
但现在，我正站在芝加哥城市一条大街上，向四周挥舞着我的三星 5G 智能手机，希望能
找到一点不被我左边的树遮挡住的信号。

Think of it like this: If 3G is a two-lane highway and 4G is six lanes,

5G will turn it into 12 lanes. It'll handle significantly more traffic and
bandwidth with zero latency, a word that refers to immediate
response times for data transfers — will allow self-driving cars to
process all the information they need to make life-or-death decisions
in the blink of an eye, or the health care industry to help power the
next generation of telemedicine and robotic surgeries.
