Will Internet die by 2010?

well of course at the same time, we can look at 2012 and the end of the world and say that may be than after, internet may be distroyed completely and be replaced by the newer/evolving technology ... heheheh but thats just a thought u see!

i rather find it baseless argument, i mean what if nto internet?.... global dependence on internet ( Technology) is getting rather more pervasive then constrictive ..i think dependebility on net going to get increased... in future.

even if it dies , something new will come up , to which we  all will get hooked up  ::

quite a possibility as any & everything which is born DIES sooner or later ::

Improvised better version is not called killing it is called growing. In the olden days cars used to be started with a handle in the front, rail engines used to run on coal and steam, now a days you dont see both of such things but cars do exist and rail engines do exist.

Internet is nothing but electronic version of road traffic system. So Internet will be there as long as there are roads and people using it. Infact there could be a day where, internet may make the road traffic to minimal.

So Internet will be there and continue. Science is still very young. The current scientific achievements are core fundamental necessities of science. It will take a pretty long time for any of these things to die. We continue to see the existance of scientific inventions of centuries old are still in use even till today. It needs a great deal of out of the universe (not out of the box) thinking to change all this.

What we see as dying is not core technologies, but the products that come using the technologies.

Land line phones may be replaced by mobile phones, but tele communiation system will not. A ype writer will be replaced by a computer, but not a writing mechanism, electric bulb may be replaced by a sodium vapour lamp or halogen lamp or something else, but electricity will remain.

Internet is also like that. It will remain, but probably we will use it through watches, mobile phones or just through a wireless headsets, but it will still be internet.

No,definitely not !!! Internet has become  a part and parcel of our lives,we cannot even think of not surfing internet for even a day and for it to die in a year's time is simply not possible.

Internet shall not be dead .

That is why IPV6 is here .

IPv6 is a network protocol .

Internet will not die. It remains the same but on the end user side changes occurs on a regular basis due to technology innovation. Couple years back we need PC to access the internet and nowadays PDA is enough to access the internet and WIFI and so on. Internet is enchanted one.

hehe ... its funny, not the topic, the time line which is projected in the topic. internet can not die just overnight in my opinion. it will enetually be replaced by some other form of means to stay updated and stay in touch but chances of that happening this soon, is what i really cant accept.

we are talking about evolution, not destruction.
what we are talking here is a new technology/means of global communication to replace our old means/technology (internet). now if that has to happen than it has to happen gradually and not within such short span of time. and i do think that there is a need for change. Internet is way too cluttered and messy, it needs an upgrade and sorting. it also needs an aim/goal to give a very defined purpose of evolution and a midterm plan to support that evolution. today internet is evolving like "Amoeba" unidirectional evolution & expansion. it needs a bit of direction to be more precise and much more targeted evolution. this targeted evolution or upgrade would make sure that everything which is coming online at a global level has a purpose and that purpose is well served by its existence in a correct fashion.

Depends on what new technology surges. Highly unlikely in 2010 but culd b possible after a decade or something, who knos? By the advent of sci-fi inventions maybe we will all be under some other technology attack.

The scientists are also aware of the tremendous growth of internet over the last few years. So I believe, they are looking into newer ways to accomodate the updates and heavy-flow. If it suddenly crashes down, some mechanisms would be available to recover the data, if not the damage. 

And yes, this is a havoc threat which should not be unnoticed by the web-scientists.

I dont think the internet will die. How ever absurd but even for a moment if we agree that there is a threat to its existence, I am sure this will be fixed.

As far as DVd's killing VCD's  and such eg's are concerned, they are technological upgradations. which has resulted in our favour by enhancing the quality of technology used previously.

And if this news was true I would have imagined the world going crazy to find a solution. Remember the Y2K bug..!

Something as revolutionary as www doesnt die such a simple death.

With the advancement of new improved technology anything is possible. However I don't think the internet can be replaced in a year's time.

Presently, Internet is the single most popular facility in the world. It is not in any competition.

However there were talks about a year ago that internet could soon be made obsolete since the scientists who pioneered the internet have now built a lightning-fast replacement capable of downloading entire feature films within seconds. I am not sure what has happened to that innovation.

Can any of you regular browser imagine not having internet for even a day?

No wayyyyyy  Gargii, where u got this news? World become so small because of net.

 We are so habitual of net that we can’t imagine that it will die in 2010.

No.. I don't think internet will die in near future. Internet will surely survive untill some super fast technologies replaces it.

Hello,

 First question, what is basis of this news of Internet to die in 2010? How can we survive on Toostep then??? We will nt be able to share our thoughts??? :((

Jokes apart, internet is continously evolving thing. It has changed our lives but itself has underwent tremendous transformation, upgradation. So if internet traffic is becoming issue, in fact, information & knowledge sharing is bound to increase henceforth.Technologist are working on this field too to develop techniques for easier, wider yet smooth access latest internet technologies & trends. I dont think it is possible to see Internet's end so early. In fact it has just started to be different.
