Re: In this day and age...
What do I need it for? Things that I haven't even imagined yet.
The point I'm trying to make is that companies are restricted in what they develop becuase it has to be compressed to fit down a 500 kbps connection.
If 80% of the homes in America had 80 Mbps connections can you imageine some of the apps that might be out there? Here's some ideas:
1. Multiple applications - today we use the internet for one thing at a time. Why not have it do 10 things?
2. The power company pings your house and knows immediately when your power is out.
2. Video chat instead of phone calls.
3. Virtually walk through a home on a real estate website.
4. Cyber malls.
Limitless possibilities. Things we don't even know to think about.
When the first computer was created in the 1950's I believe it was the magazine Popular Science said something to the affect of, "there will probably only be demand to build at most 4 computers in the world." |
