Future Impossible

Future Impossible is a deep look into the discoveries and innovations that have changed the course of technology. This collection of short films highlights the brilliant minds who created the invisible nervous system of our society, a fantastic intelligent network of wires and cables undergirding and infiltrating every aspect of modern life. 

The most stunning technological achievement of our time is the network — the incredibly sophisticated boxes and the endless miles of cable and wire that connect them, and the millions of radios that wirelessly animate our digital lives. In this series, we meet the Nobel Laureates, inventors and geeks at the legendary Bell Labs that look at the limitations of known physics and think, “We can do better.”
