The Internet, what's your stance?

[Zeroth]

I think that the Internet has a long way to go before it catches up with current PC technology. Look at how powerful recent computers have become, and how advanced video games have grown. When you look at what the Internet has to offer, it pales in comparison from a technological standpoint. To show just how far the Internet is lagging behind, mobile devices are now able to surf most of the Web. Anyway, that's just what I think. What's your stance on this?

I think the internet is doing just fine. Except on the Wii.

They've got cables now that can transfer INSANE amounts of data, but to be able to use them and speed up the internet even more, they'd have to dig up and replace all the lines everywhere we use right now. Thats not going to happen for a long time.

Do I really want the Internets to change?

I don't think so.

Heres a mind blower. If the Pavilion is still around in 2030, will you still hang around here? I think Im going on like 6 years or so, whats another 20!

Re: The Internet, what's your stance?

I know what you're saying, to an extent... but I think it's worth noting that the Internet isn't really... "technology" in the sense that a PC is technology... it's there to CONNECT those other technologies.

I dunno, I think it's doing just fine at that right now, looking at how slow and impractical some Internet-based applications were eleven years ago when I used AOL for the first time.

The fact that mobile applications can surf the Web is actually a sign of how robust our connectivity is, when you look at how many transfers are needed to make it happen. The "last mile" of wire that information goes through to get to your computer is by far the slowest, and with cell phones, it's like having dozens of miles of "last mile." So it's amazing that we've come far enough to make it work at all!

I've heard of ideas of taking the freed up air waves that Analog TV sets have given up and using them as the new method for wireless internet service.

Re: The Internet, what's your stance?

Didnt they want to make the airwave internet free? I doubt that would last long before a company takes it all over.

Re: The Internet, what's your stance?

Net Neutrality isn't popular in the legislature, so I doubt we'll ever see a free public internet service.

Very gond point, Wave.

Actually, a few companies volunteered to make wireless broadband free. Google it to find more information on the subject.

I'm against the Internet and all he stands for.

Re: The Internet, what's your stance?

I just wish there was some way to speed up my internet with a magic code.

Re: The Internet, what's your stance?

I think we should all join together and kick The Internet's ass. He touched me... in places.
