My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

I think the author of this article is somewhat confused. Either that or he's trying to deliberately mislead. He states that "If this invention catches on, all you’ll need is a lightbulb and a solar cell to get online in the not-so-distant future." But this "LiFi" technology is nothing more than a replacement for WiFi.... You'll still need physical connection to the internet in the room
