Let's talk about 5G. I'm not up to date on everything about 5G, but here's what I know. It's inevitable we'll have more 5G. It's inevitable that people will say it causes cancer. I don't know if that's true, but we're definitely getting 5G and it will definitely have critics. But and then the president of course wants us to be the 5G leader of the world. I don't think that's going to happen. I think South Korea will be the leader in 5G, but that's just me.

But here's the thing. 5G is not just faster internet. If you're thinking, well 4G is great. It's better than 3G. I'm sure glad we went from 3G to 4G. It really makes a difference. I'm happy. I can't wait to get to 5G, even faster. It's not that. 5G is civilization changing. 4G just made 3G a lot better and you know you could do a few extra things, watch the movies and stuff. But 5G suddenly, that amount of speed makes all kinds of things possible that weren't possible before.

So it's hard to, you're going to want examples and it's almost impossible to give you an example because it's literally the future, right? It's something that somebody will come up with that we haven't thought of yet. It could be once you get your screen resolution up to 4K or some high level, it could be that suddenly doctor visits are completely unnecessary because the doctor can then see the screen just as clearly as he would see it in person. Even better because I can just expand the screen and really see that bruise or whatever it is. So you're probably going to see changes in health care because of that.

You're going to see education and VR. All right, here's a specific civilization-changing thing. If you were to try to take an online class today, it would be just somebody standing in front of a screen talking and they just videotape them and then you watch them and you get bored. But with 5G you could probably transmit VR content. In other words, that you could take your phone and whether you put it on the device that holds it in front of your head or there's some other glasses or something, 5G probably gives you enough speed to create VR or even adding things to your environment. 5G might be the tipping point. Augmented reality. We need all that stuff. The point at which we mix the digital and the real world.

So right now the digital world and the real world are sort of separate. The digital world I have to look at. It's on my phone. I hold it in my hand. It's just compartmentalized in this little container. So there's a very clear distinction between the real world, you know what the things I touch and feel, and the little things that are in this little box. When you get 5G, which will allow people to transmit completely engulfing experiences, that's the wrong word, experiences that are immersive. That's the best word. 5G will allow transmission of immersive experiences so that if you've got your little glasses on that can see the world with things added, there will be digital things added to your real world environment and you might even be able to manipulate them.

You might be able to walk up to a virtual button that's literally just floating in the air and you might be able to touch it and activate something. Imagine that. An entire interface for things will just appear floating in the air and you could actually manipulate them. Boop. Imagine that you take a class and instead of learning about Napoleon trying to conquer Russia, it drops you into the battle and you're actually in the battle. You're like, holy cow, I'm in the battle for Leningrad here or whatever. And that may be the wrong war but you get the idea. So imagine learning where they can drop you in the situation.

Imagine trying to become an auto mechanic. If you're learning to be an auto mechanic, you really have to go where there's an engine and there's lots of different engines and you're not going to work on every one and you've got to wait your turn because they've only got a few cars and it's a big class. All of that is hard. Now imagine you had the glasses on and you're in the virtual world and you're trying to learn to be an engineer. The engine will float right in front of you and you could take pieces off, put pieces on, screw them in. You'll be able to manipulate what looks like the real world and you could learn every engine and you might even be able to do it in an afternoon. You might be able to learn in an afternoon what people have to take classes for for weeks because you get to do it all. And you just say, okay I'm done with this Toyota engine. Give me a BMW. Okay label it. Boop boop boop. Labels come. Show me how to change the oil. Boop boop boop. Oh okay. Show me how to change the spark plugs. Boop boop boop. Instructions come up. Point to the spark plug. All right there it is. Rotate it. Turn it around. Take the spark plug out. What tool do I use? Boop. Tool appears.

You could learn maybe at 10 times the speed. So 5G may allow us to learn at something like 10 times the rate we can learn right now. And it could be universal and we could all be learning at that rate anything we want, any new skill.

I told you that I'm taking drum lessons online. I'm using my own startup's app, WhenHub. So it's actually the name of the app is Interface by WhenHub. And I'm taking lessons. Now at the moment the quality of the sound and the picture are limited by the bandwidth and also the size of the picture and also the number of cameras. So we're bandwidth limited. Imagine if my drum teacher Michael, who by the way is available on the app if you want to take drum lessons. He's great. Just search for drums and look for Michael Antberg and you can just sign up and schedule an online lesson. If you don't like it you don't have to take another one. So that's the beauty of it.

But imagine if he didn't have any bandwidth limitation. He puts a few cameras or devices, maybe an iPad or two. One is looking down at the drums. Maybe there's one on his foot because the foot pedal timing is one of the things you have to learn. So it'd be nice to have a camera there. One on his face. It would be a completely different experience just because of 5G. So everything's going to be changing. 5G probably is the tipping point that will make in-person education seem archaic and stupid. So that's my prediction. When 5G is mature, online learning, especially the immersive kind where you're actually part of the situation, the online learning will become far superior to in-person learning and it will change everything.

There will no longer be, imagine if you will, what does it do for the poor if they can afford a phone and maybe they need some glasses or something. But if they could get just those assets, a phone and some kind of a plan and some glasses if that's the way it works so that you can see your environment. Suppose that's all it took for the poorest person in the country who could at least afford those things to get any education. Changes everything.

Suppose you could drop your classmates into the scene so that you're all in the same scene. You're not only experiencing an historic battle or you're not just attending the signing of the Declaration of Independence. You're actually in the room when it happens and you look around, you see your other classmates that are also there and you say, "Hey Bob, good to see you. Welcome to Philadelphia."

All right. I guess I'm just full of good news at the moment because generation four nuclear will solve climate change and it will be an enormous stimulus to the economy in a way that we've never seen before, especially helping the poor because when you get the energy cost down just everything works better. Then you add 5G on top of that and you have universal health care or something close to it. You've got universal education or something close to it.

And I'll tell you one of the ways that you know that your candidates for president are too damn old. The Bernies and the Bidens and even President Trump. The fact that nobody is saying we want free college and or free training in college and the way we're going to get there is through technology. The fact that nobody has said that sentence just tells you they're too old. You know you need, honestly I'm calling on AOC or somebody under 100 to say let's get to free education but let's do it this smart way. Let's not just keep building these brick and mortar things where kids can go to get bullied, which is about all you get out of school these days. They can go to school to get bullied and to get drugs basically. Sex and drugs and bullying. That's what going to school gets you. But we can do better.

All right, I'm exaggerating a little bit. You need somebody like Andrew Yang, a Candace Owens. You need somebody who represents the digital age. Yeah maybe Buttigieg. He could do it. Somebody young. Somebody says I'm retired. I direct students to Khan Academy. So I've heard that it's fairly popular that students will go to an actual class, take the physical class in an actual classroom, and then when they go home to do their homework, before they even do the homework they watch the Khan Academy class for the same topic because it's just better. However good your teacher is, the Khan Academy might be a little better. And you could fast forward and you can do stuff like that.

By the way, if you only did one thing for classroom experience, which is that you could change the rate of your teacher's talking the way you can on a podcast. You know in some podcasts you can speed it up to 1.5 or two times the original speed. People listen to me that way. You're probably some of you are listening to me that way right now or you will when it's on playback. So at 1.5 I talk like this. It would be a lot easier. And if I had a lot of content you could really hear it because even though I'm talking very fast you could hear everything I say and it really doesn't matter how quickly I talk. You can actually follow me very easily.

So if you had a classroom situation in which you could speed it up to 1.5 or 2, you could very quickly get to the point where the teacher is no longer babbling and gets to the actual content. And then when you get to the actual content then you can slow it down and watch the part you need to know, go back, watch it again. And then when you get to the filler, okay now you're in the filler and the teacher is just wasting some time until he gets on the next stop. It and then you slow it down. That alone, just that feature would make learning three times better. Three times better. Would you say yeah it's, you could call it Ben Shapiro mode. He does talk faster than anybody I've ever seen who could talk in public. But that's I think that's a function of him being smarter than the rest of us. You can talk fast if you're smart.
