The internet is running out of space!

wow, that's some bad news! I hope they can get back-ups for the internet to still run...:( lest there will be no online resources for learning (and earning! ö]

that is really a big problem for us internet users, if that situation will not be given proper attention. well, i've heard of web 2.0 and they say that it is an upgrade to the present internet. i wonder what good that upgrade will give us...

hmmm..i think i can live without internet...back to basics!! snailmails, telegrams...i personally know a lot of friends here who tend to really get lazy with internet getting in handy.not to mention loads and loads of scammers online. this may sound cynical but im just trying to think from the other side of the coin. come to think of it, the world before has survived without intenet.

I don't really believe that the internet would run out of space. Everyday, there are innovations and new developments that would make storage and data smaller and smaller in terms of space. One video before would take too much storage, now it would just take very little space and much less time to copy and make them.

Probably thats true. With the many videos coming in produced by so many, overloading is possible. Hope computer companies can do something about that.

I have always thought how data are saved online. I have even thought jokingly that they use the infinite space to store files and that they can be saved for eternity. But I couldn't explain why. That was when internet has become popular and I first started to use it in late 1990s. Lately I have come to realize that online storage is just a piece of chip that is stored in a computer. It makes sense that internet is running out of space.

I am at a loss to understand the reasoning behind this theory and have serious doubts to the actual validity of it. The internet comprises of computers to store and relay the data and transmission media such as cables or radio signals, telephone lines etecetera. There has never been a problem with the vast number of television and radio stations appearing, or with the huge increase of mobile phones in use, so I fail to see a limited capacity for the internet. I could well be totally wrong, but I suspect that this is a false and misleading speculation by some person or authority based on inaccurate assumptions.

well thanks for the information man that is something that is a matter of concern and i think this is what will be seen by the development peoples and that means they will develop something new to deal with this,

I heard that too, maybe the people putting on the tv shows and big productions need to pay for their usage. We the little people should still be able to get our usage from the Internet don't you agree.

What do you mean the internet will explode and we don't have internet after 2010.Oh my God, how will it happen , we need internet it is part of our system.

Call Bill Gates, get him to spend his money, he created this problem by making windows. he started the whole process of modern computers.

Now we all knw the net is big money to alot of people, and I am sure before that ever happens, some big company will figure out how to add more space. I bet they are working on it right now, I just can not imagin they would let space stop their money wheel.

I just cant see why the internet would really be overloaded. I always thought that the internet is a very vast virtual space with infinite capacity.

I would have thought that those people who need the space would probably add it. If YouTube needs more storage space, wouldn't they invest in more? Similarly with television companies, if they keep adding content to their sites.

considering the internet itself isnt a storage unit but a communication connection.. like phone lines.. cable wires.. electrical line.. i highly doubt itll "run out of space"

you are right

Now with this we need so serious memory boost! But if there's some sort of company that kept cleaning out the net would be great! But what i think is that within 2 years this overload will be a thing of the past.
