Default Internet gonna be obsolete?

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.

Yep also check out the Hadron Collider CERN is working on too. If they don't destroy the earth with it we'll be able to make the particles that created the universe which is a ground breaking event.

But if the internet becomes obsolete, what will Al Gore do when he no longer receives royalties???

Pictures??? Pictures are for 56k and loosers. We can dowload the HD version of "Saving Ryan's Privates #32453241678732" in mere seconds and watch it on giant projector screens with huge surround sound systems instead of watching post card sized 30second clips that we whack off to for free.
