It is rumored that we are about to run out of IP addresses. Apparently on March 12, 2011 there will no longer be any 4-byte IP address.
There is a new repalcement coming soon called an IPv6. However, the new system has yet to be impemented.
The risk of all of this? No new sites. That's right zipo.
How could that be? The internet has always baffled me in a sense that I don't understand how big and how small it is at the same time. The fact that we can run out of something that seems to be plentiful.
I took a digital media class this year and learned more that my brain could have possibly known about publishing, HTML and the internet in general. What a complex world.
We'll see what happens in 2011.
