Invisible Wi-Fi Connection

Hans, a young and naive traveler, was visiting Paris, a major metropolis, for the first time. While admiring his surroundings near the Eiffel Tower, Pierre approached him, impeccably dressed in a suit and carrying a modern briefcase.
"Excuse me, monsieur," said Pierre, in a polite French accent. "You're a tourist, and it's clear you've run out of internet data. Finding public Wi-Fi in this city is impossible, you know?"
Hans reluctantly nodded: "Yes, I can't look at maps, I'm in a very difficult situation."
Pierre pulled a small, transparent glass jar from his briefcase. It looked empty. "You're lucky," he said. "I just returned from Silicon Valley. This jar contains 'Invisible Quantum Fiber-Optic Particles.' If you slightly open the lid next to your phone, you'll have unlimited internet access ten times faster than 5G."
Hans exclaimed in astonishment, "But it looks empty?"
Pierre smiled: "Technology has advanced so much that it's invisible to the naked eye, my friend. We normally sell this 'internet cloud' for 200 Euros, but today only, as a traveler's solidarity gesture, it's just 50 Euros."
Hans, captivated by the enchanting Parisian atmosphere, gave Pierre the 50 Euros. He immediately took out his phone, slightly opened the jar lid, but nothing! No signal increased, no connection appeared.
He ran after Pierre and caught up: "Hey Monsieur! You scammed me! There's nothing in the jar and my internet still doesn't work!"
Pierre placed his hand on Hans's shoulder and said wisely:
"Ah, mon ami... You're looking at it too technically. That thing in the jar wasn't the internet, it was **'Modern Art'**. You just bought the biggest illusion experience in Paris for 50 Euros. The truth is, everything in Paris is invisible: the politeness of the waiters, the cleanliness of the subway, and the speed of your internet package..."
Hans was left speechless.
