i mean a completely new way to access other computers, not through wires... not going from my pc to 10 servers to a sattelite to 5 servers to get to a website, just from my pc straight to the server i am trying to access.... ....just a new internet,... like how dial telephones turned into cell phones with video conferences....... hte internet needs an upgrade, they've been building off the old way long enough, time to make a new internet
home>>ISP>> dozens of various servers and hubs simultaneously>>site's ISP>>site and the revere is true. EDIT: now that I see what you mean... actually... the way it is now works very well when sending and retreiving requests the load is split more evenly between connections servers etc, it helps keep everything from being overloaded, and while there is added latency, it's in the milliseconds. FYI, you solution would be utter crap, it would require so much recabling it would be vastly innefficient. I know that there is a lot of dead fiber around the word(my dad works for verizon) but t's just pointless. Each computer would need to be connected to EVERY SINGLE OTHER COMPUTER(lets see 10billion factorial... I don't think my computer can do that in reasobale time but...), BANDWIDTH WOULD BE ----, LATENCY HORID, LOTS OF THINGS WOULD OVERHEAT, and if one wire died your system would mroe or less take a ----.
LOL, the internet as we know it is going to be around for a while, except for occasional updates so we have more IP addresses. Feel free to invent your own system that accomplishes that while remaining efficient.
In the same sense? They have. You can now send Video E-Mails.. have Video conferencing... we have gone to Wireless networks IN HOMES... we have done everything you mentioned! Why are you waiting.. get your ass to Wal*Mart boy! The only thing is... we aren't going to see the day where we access direct to a server... too dangerous for the server.
Thats not how it works. There are undersea cables that link large areas. There are multiple cables linking the east-coast of the US to britain and France there is a cable linking china to the US, japan to the US and the Southern Cross cable linking NZ, AUS, Papua New Guinea, etc to the US. There is 1 cable currently linking Australia to Singapore I think it is owned by Singtel and there is a new one set for construction soon. John the servers that the data goes through after leaving your building/telephone exchange are that of the bandwidth provider so as to join/send off data onto a different fibre line.
also the idea of doing all the crap on the internet wireless is stupid as well, latencyis ----, so is bandwidth. Why the hell do you think audio quality on cell phones is crap, technically cellphones are a step backwards.
