Pssht. They're just saying this so they can force us into buying New And Improved Tubular Interwebs 2.0 when it comes out.

it would be so strange if the internet did just get taken away, it would become retro, people would be like "hey remember when people used to talk to each other over the internet?, man that was strange"
I kinda like that idea.

The internet won't die, there's too much money to be had that hasn't yet been taken from us. They'll invest if they have to.

I say we clear the internet space of 50% of the porn, and get rid of all those fucking fanvids and unentertaining amatuer videos on Youtube

I think our beloved internet will hold strong until the end, bearing in mind that it most likely will contribute to the end.

Yes, the article is too alarmist, if investments for more bandwidth are needed they'll be done (and anyway in 2 years time there will surely be technological improvements to increase the bandwidth of optical fiber).

What if some new technology is invented that makes the internothing superfulous? Bruce Sterling has written about smart dust. Rudy Rucker in his latest, PostSingularity, writes about 'smart air'. It would be fucking awesome to be able to communicate without being monitored by Big Brother.
