The Internet could soon be obsolete.

this would still be the internet though... no matter how fast the backbone gets it'll still be "the internet"

my 14.4 modem is long obsolete, hell even my 28.8 and 56k(42) are long obsolete but they still got me onto the internet.

I'm still waiting for the full matrix upgrade...

So in about 20 years we might get something like that down here in Australia. But if Telstra have anything to say about it, it's going to be the same speeds and double the cost.

The speeds for the net can already exceed the terrabit range. But the phone companies and cable companies dont want you to have it.

Has anyone warned Al Gore?

good point

I'll believe it when i see it...

Thats because the protocols and the technology that delivers the backbone is the same. This looks to be entirely new technology not just a wider pipe.

swweeeeeet.

I don't want it either, imagine the 95% bandwidth charges? :)

I have 18mbit into my home now through a cable modem, and max out at around 2,175 kilobytes a second, pretty blazing

rubbish story

uuuh, NEWS FLASH, not only was the Internet invented in 1969 for military purposes NOT 1989, the US government already has technology that can download an entire HD movie in less than 2 seconds, soooooooooooooooo how is this big news? Some people will believe just about anything.

The article says the world wide web (ie: the HTTP protocol) appeared in 1989, not the underlying internet.

trip out

Gotta Love Ted!!!

ADG

I try to stay off the grid.

HTTP it's only 1 way connection, Internet next generation should 2 ways connections.

I invented Obsolete Internets.

Nice back:1orglaugh But that's not Kelly LeBrock..is that part two?

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shitz

There was a TV series as well.

this would definitively revolutionize and overhaul stolen content tubes, also... imagine Juicy posting faster than the speed of light..........that'd be a catastrophe!....for some reason I thing servers wouldn't be able to withstand such load......

Just let me know when I can have a holodeck that lets me get gangbanged by 20 Carmen Electras.

I'm still a little uneasy about Red Button Day... It's vaguely amusing to think how many of the black holes out there were caused by civilisations that got to precisely this level of technological advancement before they pushed the button..

Oh well, they say there was speculation of a similar probability that the first atomic explosion was going to start a chain reaction and detonate every atom on in the atmosphere...

I agree, still the "internet" ... even if you call it "the inter-grid" , or whatever

Imagine it, theives will be able to download your entire members area in 2 seconds. Paysites will not be needed anymore. :(

Someone better be doin' some serious hardware upgrading
in order to handle the speed..
Talk about a bottleneck....

That would suck :(

I agree, I'm a little uneasy about this whole:

"lets collide atoms together and see what happens"

What can this accomplish... If any cares to explain I'm all ears.

LOL:1orglaugh

That'd be wicked

so these are the bastards who stole AlienQ's 'grid' and back ordered his domain. everybody's been paid for their silence and poor ol' Alien is left posting on GFY while another of his inventions makes billions for thieves.

the result is devastating we should prepare now :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

GFY would still take forever to load.

Were getting a tube upgrade? YES!

Just make your movies 10 times bigger then what they are now. Full HD x 10.
Oh wait. that will only take another 10 seconds to download it.

Ok, forget what I said.

but no harddrive could write it that fast, so its pointless

i can't imagine any devices that could even read data that fast

unless it's got hundreds of gigs of ram and it's caching everything

i don't believe
