title: How is LBRY different from a toaster?
category: differences
---
Toasters transfer heat via radiative EM waves in the infrared spectrum to brown bread and make people happy.

LBRY transfers data via EM waves in the infrared spectrum* to deliver content and make people happy.

LBRY is also brave and little. So we’re basically, fundamentally the same as a toaster.

**Assumes fiber-optic transmission.*
