What is 5G? | Start Here

5G sounds promising. This new, super-fast internet connection will let us download an HD movie in seconds. Doctors will be able to perform remote surgery with virtually no lag time. And it’ll make self-driving cars smarter and safer.
But there are also suspicions that 5G will expose us to more security breaches, privacy issues and even health problems.
So what exactly is 5G? And how much of the excitement or fear is just hype?
Start Here explains.

While our toasters are getting smarter, we human are getting dumber everyday

Dear Al Jazeera, consider making a separate channel of this series. It'll definitely get more views then. Look at CNBC, they have several.

[wowAmazingWorld]

This portion of Al Jazeerah is very educational.. Thank you for this

[wheresmyeyebrow]

How is it that a Qatari news channel has higher quality documentaries and videos than European ones?

[Chapalia]

Great episode as always. Just a minor note, could you please decrease the volume of the background music especially when one of the experts is talking? I found it difficult to hear them at some points in this video. Thank you

[commonsenseamerica]

We need to study it more in my opinion.

[zaeemAtif]

Why talk about 5G when even 1G is banned and shut-down in Kashmir for over 200 days..

[popovichrush]

They are worried because Chinese company are working very hard and wining and usa, canada, uk, Australia don't like it

[decampsdissidentdotardpres]

The US economic machine would like to make 5g a threat until they have 5g with goofy hats.

[ChanSethey]

Been waiting for a couple of days and finally, you released another version. Thanks again

[anwarnadeem]

0:01 let's talk about ....
me: please talk often.

[chanderkumar]

I love the way Sandra clear up the things and there should also be discussions on Moro conflict.

[vishal]

Hi Al Jazeera, Please make a story on Indian Telecom Industry, How ruling government is crushing the competition and blocking the free market.

[andytoepel]

Thanks so much for your work Sandra! Would be fascinated to see an update as to this topic!
ie: covid #'s & any other possible health patterns in areas with/without 5G..

[adamamunu]

This series is so beneficial. Well done AJ

I am gonna watch all Al-Jazeera episodes just because of Sandra Gathmann 😊😀

[vishal]

I like the background music much. Awesome creativity, keep it up guys. 👍

[SLEsquire]

I think it’s funny that the US accuses other countries of spying with their tech like they don’t 🤣🙄🙄🙄 Big Brother watches everything no matter where you are 🤷‍♂️ I would like to see the research suggesting shorter wavelengths don’t penetrate to deeper tissues...🤔

[ahsanmohammed]

Thank you. How much is being used in 5G?
