Maybe this kind of thing will happen every 10 years or so! Maybe by shear luck they will make an unbelievable system that is easily adaptable to the changing use for the net!

Jumping from 256 ADSL to 1024 left me with impression that everything is going "the right way". I'm used of having access to Internet 24/7 and without it I would be lost. I felt that one time when power was out. Not good. Actually, I haven’t thought about that. Jumping from 256 ADSL to 1024 left me with impression that everything is going “the right way”.

I thought that IPv6 was going to be the last big change to the internet for a while. I'd be curious to know more about the planned inner workings of this Internet 3.0, as it cannot realistically require that every public facing network device be updated or replaced with something new. That said, I think that any re-design will need to heavily focus on the incredible amounts of bandwidth that we all have available. A few years back I was working with a group of people on a project that would have allowed site-visitors to host and share a small portion of a site from their own PC or home network (think BitTorrent, only far more complicated). This had the potential to reduce the heavy strain on popular sites, since members would be sharing their bandwidth with the host sites in order to give everyone a better user experience. Load balancing on a global scale, with a focus on reducing the number of hops between data points. It was an exciting project, but unforunately never went anywhere. The lead project coordinator became a father, which was a bit more important than heading an experimental project, and other developers started arguing amongst themselves about the best ways to solve technical problems. In the end, we pulled the plug. If this is the route some engineers will follow, it will be interesting to see what they might come up with to solve some of the hurdles in place :) Another redesign?

We take for granted the ease and availablity of the internet. But interestingly enough, I've traveled to countries that don't have easy access to internet (especially anything high-speed). The days I had to live with no connection and internet access were very difficult! I felt disconnected from everything and realized the extent of my dependency (not to mention my job's mere existence relies on the interent)!
