• AT&T: Internet to hit full capacity by 2010 ( 8mth ago )
  "That's what the latest South Park episode was about, but it doesn't make sense. The Internet is a network of interconnected computers and servers. I don't see how it could run out of space or bandwidth, because all it takes to increase the two is adding another server. That's where the logic is missing in this argument. Let's look at the physics: 1) The Internet consists of electromagnetic signals that are transported across phone lines and society through satellites. 2) The particles that carry Internet data and traffic are too tiny to ever be prohibited from movement. If that wasn't true, black holes would magically appear as we surf the web... 3) The reach of the Internet grows when new servers and computers are created and used. In accordance with Moore's law, very small computers hold massive amounts of data, and allow for much greater amounts of web traffic. Any computer can be used as a web server, so it just doesn't seem possible, especially in 2 years. Scary, but BS."
