End of Internet?

[Azunite]

I read an article that there are only 200 million IP adresses left and experts think IP will come to an end soon. And that means It will be an end to internet! Holy Cow!

[Obscene Eyedeas]

Do some more reading before you freak out lol, the internet will never die in fact they've already thought of a few ideas in which to combat such an occasion as this.

[Azunite]

Lol I don't freak out I just wanted to add some colors to the text.
I think it won't end too, this is the invention of century after all right

IPv6. Theres the solution.

I was just about to say that.

However, switching the entire Internet to IPv6 will take some time.

True. The internet will carry on due to the fact the world couldn't carry on without internet any more in my opinion

Our world relies way too much on the internet to communicate, make sales, etc etc.

Our world relies way too much on the internet to communicate, make sales, etc etc.
Just as it relies "too much" on electricity or instant communications. The issue is not to be too much reliant on a given technology - it is to ensure that the technology is disaster-resilient. There is no turning back - Internet may evolve, change form, but is there to stay and have an increasing influence on our societies.

THAT'S HORRIBLE! :D

But seriously, the international economy would tank instantly, millions of people would be jobless and everybody would go insane.

If the Internet were to end, we'd see the entire world economy collapse beyond any repair. Most, if not all, people rely on internet services for their jobs and businesses. If the Internet were to end, there would be such a massive unemployment rate (possibly beyond the 20 percent mark).

Lol that family pictured reminded me of Fallout 3

[Deathwingo0o]

Noooooo. I wanna read VT!!!

Definitely beyond 20%, hell, it could be over half.

I think i would die if there was no internet plus i would have never meet all the nice people here on VT

I think i would die if there was no internet

This attitude is pretty sad when you think about it. People saying they'd die if there was no internet when there are plenty of other things to do.
