This is from April, but I only became aware of it today.

http://au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/sunrise/video/gadgets/index.html?autoplay_id=13190117

Sunrise "news" segment about how the internet is filling up.... and running out of space

The best line in my opinion "the internet has been runnig for about 13yrs and it hasn't broken down once... it's the most perfect machine we've built as humans"



Comedy Gold.
yo listen up here's a story
about a little guy that lives in a blue world
and all day and all night and everything he sees
is just blue like him inside and outside
blue his house with a blue little window
and a blue corvette
and everything is blue for him and hisself
and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to

i'm blue da ba dee da ba die...

How the hell did this guy get on TV???

People like this and the lounge room experts he's just educated are the reason I need to get out of IT.

BAHAHAHAHAHAH... running out of space hahahahaha.. what a fucking douchebag.

Its more about the speed and data rate isnt it that what the discussion was based around or from what I understood more than "internet is filling up" and running out of space for all this information.

I hate Sunrise, they just propagate crappy Traitor Ale information in a retarded format.

But they started out talking about actual disk space, sorta crept on to bandwidth, went back to disk space and realised they contradicted themselves and went back to bandwidth. They had no idea of what they were even discussing.

Thats what I thought, started out with low HD space then went into talk about speed of it and none of it was even related to running out of HD space on tinternets

Biggest pile of dribble and bullshit ever. That tops their Red Ring speech by a long margin, and I thought THAT was special!

The thing that also got me was when they say or claim "its the best invention we as humans invented" its not actually one product or storage server its like a billion of em around the world and they do break down, they're all servers worldwide that host data and pump it back and forth so they do break down and die.

effectively the intarwebs is just a cloud with shit linked all back and forth like a mind map type thing, so its not necessarily going to break down entirely only individual parts i.e servers and severed connections to them.

Didn't you know about the giant brain hidden in the middle of an underground US facility with a million and one wires coming out of it? It RUNS the interwebs, and we look after it real good! They have to hide it from the OH&S nazi's because they reckon 13 years without a break is a bit too long. It runs on Unix, never needs a reboot.

There's another beyond stupid thing - 13 years!!! I remember hanging out on the Sega chatrooms in 1994 through Ozemail at a bloody computer show, and we're behind in the times! The actual internet is alot older than that, but to put a lifespan like that on it when it's been freely available in this country for longer shows a severe lack of research and general knowledge.
