|
|
I read sometime ago, there is a new generation of Internet coming out soon in 2008 or 2009.
It's called: (The Grid).
Has anybody out here heard anymore about it ?   |

| Haven't heard of that one. I've heard of dozens of new technologies that the Internet Gods have been playing with for the future such as the Broadband over powerlines, etc. |

This is a partial summary of the last thing i read about it:
'The Grid' Could Soon Make the Internet Obsolete
Monday , April 07, 2008
The Internet could soon be made obsolete. The scientists who pioneered it have now built a lightning-fast replacement capable of downloading entire feature films within seconds. At speeds about 10,000 times faster than a typical broadband connection, “the grid” will be able to send the entire Rolling Stones back catalogue from Britain to Japan in less than two seconds. (That's Zooooooooming Dude)...  and so cool.
The latest spin-off from Cern, the particle physics centre that created the web, the grid could also provide the kind of power needed to transmit holographic images; allow instant online gaming with hundreds of thousands of players; and offer high-definition video telephony for the price of a local call.
David Britton, professor of physics at Glasgow University and a leading figure in the grid project, believes grid technologies could “revolutionise” society. “With this kind of computing power, future generations will have the ability to collaborate and communicate in ways older people like me cannot even imagine,” he said.
“Projects like the grid will bring huge changes in business and society as well as science,” Doyle said.
“Holographic video conferencing is not that far away. Online gaming could evolve to include many thousands of people, and social networking could become the main way we communicate.
“The history of the internet shows you cannot predict its real impacts but we know they will be huge.”

Al Gore did not invent the Internet.
But he did invent Global Warming... |
