It’s a scene that has greeted every gamer, walking down a city street buildings begin popping in and out of view, a character becomes detached from their mode of transport, left suspended in the air as they continue to control the vehicle that they now, at least visually, don’t seem to be in. A man disappears, then reappears later on, on the same path. He didn’t teleport, that much you do know, it looked more like he transported from present-day to an even more present day. What you are witnessing is lag and it has been a factor in internet gaming since forever.<\/p>\n
Except this wasn’t a game but instead Verizon’s new ingenious advert to show off their brand new 5G service. The advert named “The Reset”, takes viewers through an American city, from the tree-lined suburbs to the downtown metropolis, except it is all brutally affected by lag.<\/p>\n
