Happy Birthday to the brilliant Charles Kao—the legendary "Godfather of Broadband" himself! Thanks to your groundbreaking work with fiber optics, we've all gone from painfully slow buffering to streaming lightning-fast cat videos and questionable dance moves with ease. Seriously Charles, generations owe their binge-watching marathons and robust Wi-Fi signals entirely to your genius—our grateful Netflix subscriptions salute you!Your revolutionary contributions not only bagged you a Nobel Prize, but also ensured humanity stays eternally connected—and, let's admit it—occasionally too connected. On this special day, here's wishing you happiness brighter than fiber optic cables themselves. Happy Birthday!
