Facebook will use drones, lasers to 'deliver the internet to everyone'


What's that flying overhead? It could soon be a Facebook-owned Internet drone. 
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Thursday that the company will use "drones, satellites and lasers" to achieve its dream of bringing Internet connectivity to everyone in the world.
It's part of Internet.org, the Facebook-led initiative launched last year that aims to bring Internet connectivity to the two-thirds of the world's population that currently lacks access. Zuckerberg said in his post that the project has already helped 3 million people access the Internet for the first time in the Philippines and Paraguay.
But, he added, "connecting the whole world will require inventing new technology too."
