So the primary benefit of 5G is that it will allow for an increase in asshats not watching where they are going because they are busy staring at their phones? I suppose there is the advantage then of more dead asshats. At least they will only walk in front of a speeding lorry once and then be dead, thus solving the problem. Maybe 5G *is* a good thing as it will inherently encourage clean-up of the gene pool. Now if only we could figure out a way to reliably get them out of the gene pool before they reached breading age ... -- The fact that there's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume.
