Beware surfers: cyberspace is filling up

'Experts predict that consumer demand, already growing at 60 per cent a
year, will start to exceed supply from as early as next year because of more
people working online and the soaring popularity of bandwidth-hungry
websites such as YouTube and services such as the BBC�s iPlayer.

It will initially lead to computers being disrupted and going offline for
several minutes at a time. From 2012, however, PCs and laptops are likely to
operate at a much reduced speed, rendering the internet an �unreliable toy�.'

(I don't even know where to start.)

You can start by buying your PC a life vest, that way, if something bad
should happen while you're surfing, at least it won't drown.

Don't you just hate ignorant technobabble. Some idiot has been reliably
making this prediction at least every year for the past two decades.

Dear author: HEY JERKFACE, APRIL 1 IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH, ...

You know, we have only ourselves to blame.

If we taped up the openings and blew all of the cruft out of the
network every 1 April like we used to, we wouldn't have this problem.
