The Internet Doomed?

Is this going to be a 666 year for the internet?

 

[Moontraveler]

No it's only when the 12 year olds invade.

 

[Samuraid]

If there isn't enough infrastructure to support the demand, economics suggest that prices will likely rise to force the demand down.

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

No it's only when the 12 year olds invade.

Seeing your post makes me feel like they already have .

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

The internet should be limited to 13 and above. Most 13 year olds and above have pubes enough to know how annoying not to be.

I wonder what Bash.org has to say about this...

<h|tler> HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU TELL THAT I'M 13 BY LOOKING AT WHAT I'M WRITEING?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Ok, I guess you are right then.

 

[Dr Super Good]

This is just some fantisy filled dream, as internet usage grows, more fiber optic will be installed and better servers used. Also the internet will never freeze due to overuse, but it may get stupidly slow. There is no need to worry about this as more fiber optics will be installed and better servers used so everything will be fine.

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

Yeah, I saw this awhile ago.. Idk, we will see if it does or not.

Heh, i've had fibre optic internet for nearly 10 years where i'm at, and the States just got it this year

Silly Americans

Hopefully you're right though, as another net bust would not be good, since even more of the world's economy is based around online ventures.

 

[Hakeem]

Think about it, the problem would be too many people using it, right? So it would not work on occasion. Then what would happen? People stop using it? Problem solved.

The problem would be too many people using it, but they are using it.

 

[Sacrimo]

10,000+ successful sites are made everyday...what about the crappy sites?

 

[brad.dude03]

Not many, crappy sites are only made on freewebs and such, and I don't think they get 10 thousand new members every day lol.

 

[robot-dude]

The worest sites are made with "Tripod" you mainly find 13yr olds and under on rubbish games such as "Runescape" "Maple Story" "DragonFable" stuff like that.

So as long as silly children don't come here will be fine and i think my can of sites are doomed... :O because the CRIA are starting to shut them down..

Yeah, to many youngins, 13+ internet gate keepers!

 

[Cheeder]

you can turn your own PC into a server.. Did someone say torrents? It's a POS story like man coming from apes, just speculation from ignorant retards.

And it's not space that would ever be an issue because space is cheap. It's the amount of servers and their technology employed. The US military has 50-100 years of future technology, ahead of civilian knowledge. My brother, who was in the military, was told this, against confidentiality, from a guy who worked in communications for the US.

So it's a matter of server-producing companies jacking up the prices, as was stated, and not to reduce demand but to make money! And in turn, when people buy and employ the servers they inhereintly equalize demand.

And Brad.dude, Canada is a mini-US, moreso a baby-US.. which will suck just as much when it "matures". So don't keep your hopes up, but keep hopinh that people are actively involved in their provincial and local governments as they are now. Anyway, the point, Canada is booming like crazy so it's a lot easier to have the newest technology employed as it grows, and it has the money to pay for the technology, as opposed to shoving hundreds of thousands of miles of optics through old pipes, stuffed with thousands of century-old wires, and getting it when the economy can afford it through a company's debt and of course the demand in the area.

Of course, we could send up more sattelites and everyone be forced to use sattelite internet. The "forcing" part is way down the line, but the sattelites will beat constucting huge buildings just to house servers.

Offtopic: My uncle, who lives in Alberta, said every human (including new-borns) were given like 400Canadian from the provincial government.. Blew me away. And when i was up there i heard on the radio that Calgarian business, like house-cleaning services, for example, were starting people at 90loonies an hour! And with a shortage on handymen and constructions workers they were starting around 60 an hour. (hope you don't mind the cold!)

Ohhh dissing Canada, going to love brad's post.

Anyway, you are pretty right about future tec, the internet will keep growing with servers so the internet should never die if scientists don't give up on it.

 

[robot-dude]

It be nice if the CRIA just left my sites alone though, and i think sites should be shut down if the site's script language aint in decent html or java.

That would also stop young children from making silly sites.

 

[Cheeder]

I'm not dissing Canada. I'm stating the facts. Canada tries to mirror what the US does and it's a damn shame. However, people in Canada actually get involved in their politics, unlike here in the US where people just watch and listen like useless robots, observing their life taken control over, thrown away, made useless.
"Bad things happen when good men fail to act"
Guess there are no good people in the US!
I really liked Canada, at least Alberta. The people ARE really nice and yeah, it's true, murder is extremely rare!
My uncle was talking about some guy who was hit by a drunk driver during an out-door party consistenting of hundreds of people. He was telling his girlfriend this for some reason, and in detail. It wasn't murder, per se, but i asked when it had happened and he was like, "Oh, about 10 years ago".

 

[brad.dude03]

Sacrimo you're not much better at all than any of the 13 year olds I've met online.

Any of the free hosting sites are definetly a no-go. Stay away from them at all costs.

And Alberta is probably the worst place to go on Canada. It's like the Texas of the North. A bunch of greedy, right-wing, oil producing bastards over there, for the most, but they're still Canadian, so I don't complain. Ontario is far better, as it is the hub of population, trade, etc, is more left-centric in it's politics, and I live there, which gives it an automatic bonus.

And anyway, what are we supposed to do? Western civilization (sadly) revolves around the US. Our soaring dollar is a problem too, becuase most of our industry is based around manufacturing shit and selling it to the States.

I like Canada more than the States though. Overall, we aren't war-mongering idiots, like the Jackass that runs your country. You can't blame America for having such a bad reputation on the world scale when you have a man like George Dubya representing all of your people.

And our dollar wasn't booming ten years ago, we're just the communications hub of North America. We've always had better communications technology than you, ALWAYS, and this is no different. Most of the Us of A still running on that there AOL Broadband.

 

[Hakeem]

Anyway, you are pretty right about future tec, the internet will keep growing with servers so the internet should never die if scientists don't give up on it.

The internet wont die anyway. You would have to sustain a DDoS attack against the 13 root servers for a very long period of time in order to do that. Even then, IP addresses can still be used.

You can't blame America for having such a bad reputation on the world scale when you have a man like George Dubya representing all of your people.

Hey! He only represents 50% of America! And that doesn't include people below the age of 18 either!

 

[brad.dude03]

Ah fair enough, fair enough. But still, on a world scale he's the only thing people end up looking at when they see America, and it's a shame.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

I find the only thing that puts 25% of Americans in shame is MacDonalds and Subway. Sorry if any of you are like that but that's just my view.

The internet is not doomed, face it. You'd need at least 1000 pro hackers to get into them systems, they are probably bluepirint required, eye thingy and even special card, on top of a massive code...

 

[Gilles]

People sure hate 13 and 12 year olds.

 

[Sacrimo]

I am a Italian and i'm 15 years old

Brad...cough

Well anyways Thanks for the advice on pre made sites brad, I am new to Tech, my computer and grammar skills need more work.

Back on topic: You may never know if the internet can die, this dude sended like millions of large files into the internet and made everyone lag for a hour or 2 till the gate keepers or whatever forced deleted them. Happened 2007? The internet doesn't have infinite amount of space, if hackers get more powerful they could close it for good.

But then again, if new servers and firewalls come out to protect and enhance the internet, then the internet would get larger and safer.

]You'd need at least 1000 pro hackers to get into them systems, they are probably bluepirint required, eye thingy and even special card, on top of a massive code...

Not really, just like the post before, if one person can send huge files into the internet and make EVERYONE lag for a hour, then 1000 hackers could just right click the internet and press *delete* The hacker kid was like 17 and he wasn't that good with hacking, on youtube he showed a video of him hacking runescape and everyone knows that hacking in runescape won't get you banded now.

People sure hate 13 and 12 year olds.

Not all 13 year olds suck using the internet, some made millions like the kid I posted in the beginning of the thread.

FYI: Older people just tease you since your short and young, screw them, you don't pull muscles that easy as they do

Ah fair enough, fair enough. But still, on a world scale he's the only thing people end up looking at when they see America, and it's a shame.

Were getting a little off topic about the "How America's reputation sucks"

According to the person who started the idea of a "virtual spiderweb"
"The webs of the spider will live on forever and ever" (my own words)

We don't really need to worry about it.

 

[Puppetier]

According to religion the world is suppose to end 2011, however theres a bunch of times the world was suppose to end aka any dates with 6/6/6 or the year 666, though we're still here to live through the end of a era, thatd be fun.

Hurray, we are still here.. Puppetier is right.. A lot of different religions and scientists have been predicting the end of the world.. Yet nothing has happened..

Back on topic.. In the matter of Internet running out of resources.. I really don't hope so.. What would I do without any Internet :O .. I'd be bored to death.. I might even be paying more attension to my homework.. xD

 

[robot-dude]

No one cares about religious beliefs when the world is gonna end... only thing thats gonna kill us is a Nuke war(Either the Americans or Jap's or Russia or Iraq are gonna start this) or global warming.

The internet is doomed in this term by 13yr olds and younger when they start too spam or type in caps or make no sense at all.

Only way to prevent this is to get parents to stop buying the internet for them or put one of those child locks on your computer that don't work.

Global warming is not going to end the world. It's going to be a big problem, it will raise sea levels and destroy lots of land. However, it will not destroy all land.

13 year olds aren't ruining the internet, the only problem would be too many people using too much bandwidth (eg. all those giant files people like to download).
Even then, the problem is that it wont satisfy all the demand. It will satisfy most of the demand.

 

[robot-dude]

Yes I know but global warming can cause the next ice age.., and and the internet is doomed for people who download "Games / Movies / Music" because most of the sites are being shutdown, and to prevent this i think they should just ban sorten Location IP's.

Like ban the canadian Location IP.

 

[Modo]

To check age, make it so only Internet Cafes can have the internet.

Why would hackers destroy the internet? Without the internet, there would be nothing left to hack and they would be bored.

I agree with the banning of under 13s from the internet, they take too much space. I guess if the internet slowed down too much, you could delete all the porn. Pornography makes up 75% of the internet. Who needs that much? No one. If we delete porn, we would also remove a massive amount of users. Next, we delete MySpace, Facebook and their equivalents. After that, we delete the majority of blogs. Why so many people think their lives and pictures are so important I will never know.

BTW, with 2011, apparently aliens are meant to descend to Earth that year, according to some ancient Egyptian text/tablet. I can't remember what they are meant to do though.

 

[brad.dude03]

Ugh and the Mayans say it's supposed to end in December 2012. Who the feck cares? Its all a bunch of BS anyway.

And getting rid of porn wont happen. As sad as it is, it's been one of the longest-existing and largest markets on the internet, and people aren't gonna just give it up, especailly when it's their money they could be making.

 

[Shados]

Hey! He only represents 50% of America! And that doesn't include people below the age of 18 either!

And even then you'd need to take out the backup servers, and even then the DNS of your country, ISP and even local region have IP records for all the sites looked at recently. And, as you said, you could still reach other pcs by going to their IP directly.

The internet is not doomed, face it. You'd need at least 1000 pro hackers to get into them systems, they are probably bluepirint required, eye thingy and even special card, on top of a massive code...

A: The ONLY thing right about that is that the internet is not doomed.
B: If you know nothing about a subject, don't try to wildly speculate about it to make up for your lack of knowledge. Either don't talk about it or learn about it.

Back on topic: You may never know if the internet can die, this dude sended like millions of large files into the internet and made everyone lag for a hour or 2 till the gate keepers or whatever forced deleted them. Happened 2007?

Again, please, study a bit on a subject before ranting about it.

 

[robot-dude]

But its like 5% of 16 yr's and under are smart the 95% are just like when a hillbilly meets a Toaster or his sister. (Retarded) (i can back this up with prove of cause just look at people who listen to Rap or fight of a silly address code.)

And plus i agree about removing blogs but please keep
Myspace / Bebo / Netlog / Facebook only good ones around.

And the internet will never be doomed untill evolution is reversed or idiots start posting Porn Spam onto forums or sites. So the site providers will have to shutdown free sites creation and start to make everyone having to pay for a site or forum even if its a basic one.

And i also agree with the sentence "Ban Porn on the Internet" Come on seriously who in their right mind would prefer to have like 20-50mins time with their hand ? I rather spend that time with my GF.

 

[Sacrimo]

This isn't hacking but its damn close, it really works...how do people with such a low IQ find these kind of codes...?

 

[ZypherXII]

And plus i agree about removing blogs but please keep
Myspace / Bebo / Netlog / Facebook only good ones around.

So who would decide what is good to keep? And how should it be decided?

See this is the problem with the Internet. You can't say that the crappy things shouldn't be uploaded. If people wan't to put it out there then let them. I'd rather that than having someone controlling everything i upload or post to check if it's good or not.

 

[robot-dude]

I was only saying too keep those up if people started to shut down blogs because those have age filters. But people can still lie about their age.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

To check age, make it so only Internet Cafes can have the internet.

Do you realise how much distress that would cause? Schools, Colleges, Buisinesses etc etc. Also, if you made a poll saying Do you go to an internet cafe? You would get say 10-20 yes' and loads of no's. Also, they charge ridiculous money or say you must book a computer.

But seriously, internet is getting better, not worse.

 

[brad.dude03]

The internet isn't really going anywhere IMO. If there is a problem, it will be spotted years ahead and dealt with, and if not, like the dotcom bust, then we'll find ways to adapt, and come out even stronger, as you see now with web 2.0.

 

[robot-dude]

These sites you suggested to keep are also a source for predators, paedophiles and other social deviants. If people were removed form these sites, they couldn't be preyed upon. Again, this would have a two-fold effect. It would free up space and the predators/prey would use the internet a lot less.

I agree with ZypherXII, it is not up to an individual to decide which sites go. WC3 haters would want this site gone saying that it has too many users, too much space, etc.

Kaitech, I had to use an internet cafe for quite a while because I didn't have the internet at my house. It was really annoying, a bit expensive, etc. but I adapted. I wouldn't want to go back to it though. If I had to go back, I would though.

What is a internet cafe? since your all talking about it...im asking

 

[Redeemer59]

The internet should be limited to 13 and above. Most 13 year olds and above have pubes enough to know how annoying not to be.

Age =! maturity.

I was on the web when I was 11, and I was mistaken for a 16 year old more than once.

 

[DarkDenizen]

Maybe so for you, but the vast majority of 13 year olds think they've got social skills that they don't, and end up pissing everyone else off. That and pre-pubescent voices on mics. Those are evil.

 

[brad.dude03]

Very evil. But hey, Camels_Hump is 14 or 15 last I checked, and he was a mod at 13, and hell, most of the time he seems more mature than me.

Age =! Maturity for sure.

 

[Hakeem]

It's impossible to shut all those sites down. Impossible. Completely.

 

[robot-dude]

not really the CRIA just need to type "T****nt site List" and it comes up with decent ones, and then they just send a email saying if you don't remove the files they will shut them down.

 

[Samuraid]

This thread is basically fail. A lot of you need to get your facts straight before posting in here as if your words are somehow factual. (for the record, I'm NOT claiming to know the answers either, but I do know that there have been a lot of false or ignorant statements about technology and the state of the internet here)

As for the other offtopic posts...what "religion" predicts the world will end in 2011? AFAIK, the Mayan calendar predicts a cataclysmic event around the end of 2012, but what else is there to corroborate such assertions?

 

[Sacrimo]

Yeah this is getting really off topic didn't really bother to post.

Some of the mods who were off topic should of known, but owell not pointing fingers, may someone close this before something else starts?

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Global WARMING, how the hell will WARMING the earth cause an ICE AGE??
