This man is the reason why the AI tools like ChatGpt and Bard could exist 🤯
In today's thread we are going to talk about the man who created the internet.
Have you ever wondered how the internet works?
How information travels across continents at lightning speed?
Well, we owe a great deal of thanks to a visionary scientist named Narinder Singh Kapany.
Today, let's explore the life and contributions of the man known as the "Father of Fiber Optics." 🌟
Narinder Singh Kapany was born on October 31, 1926, in Moga, Punjab, India.
Little did he know that his groundbreaking work would revolutionize the world of telecommunications. 📡
Thanks to Kapany's breakthroughs, the era of fiber optic communication was born.
This technology revolutionized telecommunications, allowing for faster internet speeds, clearer phone calls, and improved data transmission for countless applications. 📲
He co-founded Optics Technology, Inc. and became a successful entrepreneur, utilizing his expertise to bridge the gap between science and industry. 💼

Here are some of the things that run on fiber optics:
👉Internet and Broadband
👉Telecommunications
👉Cable Television
👉Data Centers
👉Medical Imaging
👉Security and Surveillance
These are just a few examples.
Kapany was a firm believer in the power of education and the need to inspire future generations of scientists and innovators.
He established the Kapany Chair in Optoelectronics at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and supported numerous educational initiatives around the world. 🎓
His vision and determination have left an indelible mark on the fields of optics and telecommunications, shaping the way we communicate and connect with one another. 🌍
We lost this legend on December 3, 2020.
All the communications that we do on Twitter, embrace AI, watch videos on YouTube, research on Google was made possible due to his invention of fibre optics.
All others are using this free non-patenteted technology to quench their thirst and build billion dollar businesses.
Kapany was posthumously included in the list of Padma Vibhushan awardees for 2021.
In November 1999, he was identified by Fortune as one of the seven "unsung heroes who greatly influenced life in the twentieth century"
Literally I can't imagine a day without using the internet.
What about you?
The Internet has become an integral part of our life and all this goes to Indian entrepreneur and scientists Dr. Kapany.💪
