Technology changes way to quickly. It is amazing to think about how 20 years ago, CDs were starting to make headway and now they are already on their way out. I heard from somewhere (sorry, I can’t remember and therefore have nothing to link to) that most of today’s kindergarteners will work in jobs that haven’t even been created yet. I’m not sure how accurate that is, but it sure sounds like it could be true. I just found out yesterday there are companies that will find someone to take your cell phone plan so you don’t have to pay the early termination fee. That job didn’t exist when I was in Kindergarten.
Well, what if I told you that in ten years, the internet as we know it will be obsolete? Crazy? Maybe not. The brains who gave life to original internet have come up with a new plan temporarily called “the grid” that will replace the current internet by being 10,000 times more powerful. Let’s do the math. The internet into my house clocks in at 15Mbps (which I have yet to actually see that kind of speed but…) so the new internet would crank that up to 150 GIGABITES PER SECOND!!! Do you know how much information that is? Blockbuster, if you’re reading this, you need to catch up with Netflix and iTunes on that whole downloading movies thing cause times, they are a changin’.
