‘The Grid’ Could Soon Make the Internet Obsolete, I was surfing around trying to find out some information on when 32 bit computers will become obsolete, because a friend that works at Best buy told me that everything will eventually be switching over to a 64 bit operating system in the future. He also told me that not many people knew that some of the computers they are buying today may have to be replaced within a few years, so he recommended I purchase a pc that has at least 4 gigabytes of memory, so I am looking at buying a 64 bit quad-core pc. As I was searching for information to clarify this problem. I then ran across a fantastic article on a computer network system that will soon make the internet system we know as "the net,"obsolete. It is called the grid. Below is a link to the mind blowing article.
"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." - THE TIMES ONLINE
