Computer engineers and internet technologists have set a new record for the fastest data transference ever made to date, and this breakthrough promises an even larger scope on future internet connections. Imagine using your
P2P client to download 2 DVDs worth of videos in a span of a minute or two - wouldn't this be the end of home and theater videos, and the start of video on demand via the internet? Not to mention streaming audio via internet radio, almost real-time video conferencing, the end of residential education, and unregulated data transference!
These computer engineers and internet technologists have managed to transfer 6.7GB, which is data worth 2 DVDs, across almost 6,500 miles in a span of a single minute, and the data was transferred to Amsterdam from Sunnyvale, U.S. in a time frame as fast as you could think about current US president George W. Bush as being either the senior, the junior, or both! They achieved this feat by using
high-tech electronic equipment, such as fiber optic cables and high-end computers, and the results have dramatically turned the tables on the future of internet connectivity, which is presently limited to broadband connections as being the internet connection of choice by both corporations and individuals due to its speed. This
super fast internet connection speed makes me think about the future of electronic communications, a paperless society, and both audio and video on demand - now wouldn't that be the technological heaven Alexander Graham Bell dreamt about a few decades back?
