Is the internet obsolete?

However, even with the best consumer hard drives and RAM memory sticks on the market wouldn't be able to process a download that fast.

Well, you know what that means.

Throw out all the old computers, and buy new.

. . . and the obsolescence cycle goes on....

Marketing genius! :lol:
 
Holy Cow

More faster, means more accessible! Videophone will be a joke... Next is hologram phone... Nice!
 
Star Trek is becoming a reality! Holodecks... here we come! ;)

Right, we don't have the technology to keep up with a download of a feature film in only few seconds. If you downloaded a 4.7 GB feature film in 2 or 3 seconds, that's at a rate at around 2 GB/sec. The fastest single hard drives out there have maximum transfer rate of around 100 MB/sec. RAID hard drives are even more faster but they're generally not for the consumer market.

I think that stuff is far from reality, probably for corporate use not for home. I believe that will happen in 10-15 years later as it becomes widespread.
 
10 - 15 years?! I think probably 3 - 5 years, MAX! Technology increasingly updates so quickly! LOL I don't disagree with you, just hoping it's sooner before I'm an old lady.

Me too! The possibilities are limitless! :)

Yes. However, that is for standard resolution. For movies in HD, it would be much, much larger. If people want full-quality 1080p video, not heavily compressed like they are on iTunes and Xbox Live, it would be 25 to 50GB or even more.

LOL! I was thinking more of "Computer! Give me a beautiful private beach with all gorgeous men catering to my every whim while all scantily clad in men's bikinis!"

;) ;)

Did you ever see Star Trek TNG when that guy was addicted to Holographic Rooms?

That would be me.

Imagine my family and friends trying to stage an intervention.

Me: "I can stop anytime!"
Them: "Well then come on out of there and show us!"
Me: "Later!"

Yeah... Reginald Barclay (aka "Broccoli"). He was on a few episodes of Star Trek: Voyager. ;)

I'm sure that there will be holo-addiction when holodecks come out. It's just a matter of how we look at it. :)

Yes, I think holodecks will beat out drugs and alcohol.
Everything you always wanted, just by asking for it. Ahhh. . .

P.S. I remembered his name! Reg Barclay and I remember seeing him show up on Voyager as well. Thanks for reminder about Voyager!
 
mate, what about these features from The Fifth element?

Funny thing... I had just watched a couple episodes with him right before I read your message. ;)
 
Go and watch The Fifth Element and you'll know what I mean ;)
