The end of the Internet? - Topic Powered by eve community
I heard recently that the american government, who basicly own the internet, are set to introduce Internet2, which would be a replacement of the current system, but without the freedom to publish things against a one world government.

Through out history people have always found a way to communicate and this same is true today even in countries where free speech is banned.
There can never be total regulation of the internet no matter how hard governments try.

The american government own the strings that pull the internet, for example, if you want to rent out (theres no such thing as buy and sell) domain names you have to do so via an anerican government organisation called the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).
An ISP has to register with ICANN, basicly you cannot get internet access without ICANN.

You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink.
The internet is essential an electronic version of the ordinary mail system.
It has addresses and it has postal carriers and it has officials deciding what roads are called.
Now the US can introduce a new fancy carrier who uses a totally new type of address, but if people just keep using the old carriers and sending messages to the old addresses then the new system will be totally redundant, loose incredible amounts of money and quietly be forgotten.

Meh. We'll be using ¨the grid¨ by 2012.
The internet could soon be made obsolete.

Wow, that is very interesting, and even more interesting was the theory that we'll all be offered this kind of internet speed to join Internet2.
Who would refuse...

You have a point.
But what would happen is that the old system wouldnt be upgraded, and would probably just be shut down, or phased out.
As for total regulation.
Do they need total regulation?.
Surely, like this forum, the use of such things as trigger words, or even trigger phrases, make this point moot?.

If the Americans really own the net what they can do is make it harder for people to access pornography specially illegal pornography, thats something really good they can do, without infringing on "so-called" free speech.

Does not sound like Western Freedom probs other influences from less liberal governments or countries.

Greetings fellow earthlings!
I'm here with David Icke.
Extinguish those matches please that purple shell suit is flammable!
David points out that ICANN is simply an anagram of "CIA"...
Well almost!
Wait a moment, there's someone at the door...
Who can it be?! - It's Jon Ronson!
Jon asks has anyone noticed that "internet" is an anagram of "inert net" which is what it will become if those reptilian humanoids the Illuminati have their way.
After literally minutes of further zany Red Bull fuelled investigation by myself and my two cohorts (now also joined by arch sleuth Sir Digby Chicken Caesar!) we can exclusively reveal to C4 Forum that anagram decoding of "the internet" indicates that:
"There intent" on the unlucky day of the "thirteen net" is to reduce capacity to just "entire tenth".
It was staring us in the face all the time!
Our interpretation of this message is essentially that very shortly no on will be able to go online.
Anymore. Ever again...
Unless they have a B&Q loyalty card.
But we still have time to act.
Just email this message to your 10 closest friends.
Mine are all psychiatrists!

You missed the part played by the Crystal Skulls, which were sent here by friends of that well-known heterosexual Tom Cruise to...oh, just fill in the rest yourselves.

Share you theory learned one.
For I feel sure that by concerted effort and a fair wind we can unravel much of the mystery in this world by mid morning coffee break.
Probably.
In the last few seconds it has come to my attention (thank you Sir Digby...
Settle down and have a another can of Special Brew and a pizza crust), that "eruption" is an anagram of both "opine rut" and "orient up".
Is this person therefore both a sex therapist and Leyton supporter?!
More to follow...

You've got too much time on your hands and I am glad to say you're using it wisely.
The Crystal Skulls (as opposed to 'the crystal skulls', which are fakes) were left by some aliens a long time ago, found by some people living thereabouts and worshipped for a bit.
Then the Europeans came and killed the people and The Skulls (not 'the skulls', which are phonies) were lost.
Then a bloke in a fedora came along and found them.
After a bit, a second rate sci fi writer turned The Skulls (not to be confused with 'the skulls', which are poor copies) into the most unlikely religion extant by basically making up mad stuff, which was of course lapped up by people in Hollywood, especially the ones who wanted to hide their sexuality.
Now we are trying to unravel the secrets once known by people who lived in caves and painted themselves but didn't have the wheel, but we won't because only special people on internet fora have that knowledge and they will only share with people who don't beleive them and accuse them of wearing tinfoil hats.

Now, what I know may not amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world...
But what I do know is that "crystal skull" is an anagram of "stall cry sulk".
(That's quite enough anagrams please.

No very interestingly "stall cry sulk" was the entire gamut of emotions I felt on learning I couldn't attend the opening night of the new Indiana Jones movie.

Are you talking about the upgrade to IPv6?

Sounds good, but I'm afraid you under-estimate the will and power of big money - they'll just throw cash at a few basketball and soap 'stars' to use the new system on an ad or programme, and the gullible masses will just fall neatly into line.

How many people still use the original ARPANET?
How many people carried on using bulletin boards when HTTP was invented?
If the new system has features that the majority will use then the old system will slowly die out.

A bloke at the Elf centre told me to "seek out Elrond Cupboard" last week.
He said he was from the C-Org and cut the buttons from my jacket before giving me a blue rosette and a packet of what I assumed to be crushed skull fragments, it said "Crystal" on the label anyhoo, but the following word had become illegible and grubby.
To cut a long story short, the missus used it - assuming it to be a rescued packet of motorway Sweet n' Lo.
She talked like a racing commentator for about 72 hours, then her teeth fell out and I had to contact the bank to cancel a fairly substantial cash transfer.

Followed by overwhelming relief after having seen it?

I thought the crystal skulls in the movie were a disappointment - elongated and a bit silly looking.
They should have got Damian Hirst to make them instead.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6712015.stm
But I enjoyed the film - especially the early part based in the US and all the 50s references.
Too much c.g.i. towards the end though?

On the other hand how many people are using 3G mobiles with video calls, despite the billions the phone companies invested in it, how many use that cut down version of the internet you can access on your mobile, whose name I can't even remember?
If people like new features and find them useful they will use them, if not all the money in the world can't make them.
A wonderful thing, a market economy!

Companies are there to make money, they restrict the internet, people won't use their services, they won't make money.
It won't happen. If it does then someone else will make another internet.

I agree that some new technologies don't take off, Video phones and WAP being prime examples and old technologies are still in daily use.
SMTP was invented in the 70s and it is still one of the main uses of the internet today.
Some technologies that looked like they would fail have now taken off as the speed of the net increased.
WebTV was touted as the next great thing in the min 90s then died because the infrastructure wasn't there to support it.
Now with high speed broadband in most homes it has reappeared in the form of youtube, iplayer, etc.
