Cyberspace is filling up…
and VeeBee writes in cyberspace…
In recent times a number of “industry experts” have been making comment that by 2012, there will be so much traffic on the internet, that it will effectively be unusable.
The video-sharing website YouTube, which only launched midway through 2005, generates the equivalent amount of traffic each month, that the ENTIRE internet did in all of 2000. Add the Social Networking sites that keep growing like Facebook and MySpace, plus the new craze of blogging, it is easy to understand that these predictions are being made.
Are they truly realistic though? Or is it just a case of the boy who cried wolf?
For years technology has adapted to the amount of use. The internet in three years will only be faster than it is now, and the “technology experts” will be proving the “industry experts” wrong. The amount of traffic across the Internet will be ten times what it is now, and websites will be many times more efficient than they are now.
The boy will still be crying wolf, but it will be more like Henny Penny the sky is falling, where at the end those Henny Penny experts will end up disappearing.
