The background behind Fiber Optics dates back to 1854 when John Tyndall proved that light signals could be conducted. Then Alexander Grand Bell created the first “wireless phone” by transmitting voice through reflected light in 1880. Soon after, William Wheeler created the light pipe with reflective coatings to light homes from a central location. The progress goes on with new development that eventually arrived to Optical Fiber.
One of my child-hood memories was going to Disney World and getting the glow sticks as well as those fiber-optic light sticks that change color. Everytime I see them it reminds me of Disney World.
