LI-FI is a technology that transmits data through illumination by using LED light bulbs that vary in intensity faster than the human eye can detect. It began development in the 1990s where researchers discovered LEDs could transmit data. LI-FI works by transmitting either a 1 or 0 by turning an LED on or off very quickly. It has advantages over Wi-Fi like higher speeds, more security, and being harmless. Potential applications include using traffic lights that communicate between cars to help prevent accidents. Further exploration of using every light bulb as a wireless access point could lead to a cleaner, greener future.
