  • The word fibe seems to be generic to futuristic stories about ordinary folks in a technological environment. It's easy to see how a street hustler, for example, would shorten fiberoptic to fibe. Today we use electronic devices almost continuously in our lives, yet few people understand the mysteries of electricity, which is often likened to common words like juice, flow, on or off. Electric current is the flow of electrons over a wire or disbursted as a wave. Photons flow the same way on fibe linkages.
