5G is claiming download speeds of 1 gb/s which would make it the fastest transmission protocol on the Internet since you're not getting that speed over your cable line. (RT: World’s first 5G smartphone: New model downloads 10X faster than competition (VIDEO))
The world’s first phone capable of using 5G connectivity to reach download speeds of up to 1GB per second was unveiled at the Mobile World Congress (MWC). Developed by Chinese firm ZTE the Gigabit Phone is estimated to be available from early 2019.
Speaking at the MWC in Barcelona, ZTE spokesperson Eric Imbert said the increased speed would allow for “virtual reality in 360 degrees with a 4K resolution, instant cloud-storage or even obviously a super fast download speed for the phone’s applications or to watch movies.”
The phone was displayed at the MWC showing off its impressive download speeds, with all phones registering just less than 1GB per second, up to ten times faster than current speeds.

On first seeing this speed claim, I didn't believe it so I took a look at WIKI. The 5G specification has not been formalized but the manufacturers are dancing around trying to force the matter, particularly ZTE when they plan to go to market with it soon. (WIKI: 5G)
The target for the 5G specification has been five gigabits per second and keep in mind there are eight bits in a byte because it's important for this. Even the target for the Gigabit Phone at 1 gb/s is faster than cable speeds.
When I run a speed test for the Charter network on which I'm running, it will typically come back reporting download speeds of 60-70 MB/s. This is where it's important about bits and bytes since 60-70 MB/s would be eight times larger when considered as bits for 480-560 mb/s or .5 gb/s. That's half the 5G claim so wtf, mates?
If these speed claims for 5G are true and accurate, what need is there of a hardwire to the Internet after that when it will only slow you down.
Since the bit about 5G may not be electronically unusual enough for you, how about a different twist on electronica in which researchers have found a way to use plants as supercapacitors. (RT: Wires and supercapacitors constructed inside living plants)

In November 2015, the research group presented results showing that they had caused roses to absorb a conducting polymer solution. Conducting hydrogel formed in the rose's stem in the form of wires. With an electrode at each end and a gate in the middle, a fully functional transistor was created. The results were recently presented in Science Advances.

Ed: a transistorized rose?
Welcome to the future, Robinson Crusoe.
"A few years ago, we demonstrated that it is possible to create electronic plants, 'power plants', but we have now shown that the research has practical applications. We have not only shown that energy storage is possible, but also that we can deliver systems with excellent performance," says Professor Magnus Berggren, head of the Laboratory of Organic Electronics, Linköping University, Campus Norrköping.

A capacitor is an electronic unit which serves to store a charge which is subsequently released based on the electronic logic of the system. That means you can electrocute yourself with a capacitor if you're not careful. Since we have seen how you drive in Texas, we already know you're not careful so maybe stay away from the roses with wires connected to them.
Ed: what good is it?
Tough to tell but one thing is for sure ... you could wire up your orchard so there's no chance anyone steals more than one apple.
Ed: if you try to pick the apple, the charge in the capacitor releases, and you become a briquet for the barbecue?
Roger that.
