I never trust any news that tells us to change to a “new internet”. because of some IPV4 flaw or some sort that nullifies any current existing computer’s default connection.
The day that you can no longer connect the “original way”, is the day you might notice what you gave up.
IPV6 (or anything new for that matter) should and is an option for everyone, but never should be mandatory.
The further you get from your roots, the harder it is to hang on to the value that influenced your knowledge/likes as it is.
What is to fear is a day that we only have cloud storage, no hard drives and no upgrades at all to be made to our own “personal computers” worth calling personal. Everything is in the hands of NSA and the people charging you a monthly fee to connect to your devices. but if you pay more you can get more speed from your web based operating systems
Meanwhile your isp is charging you but gives you a limit to how much you can see a month.
Understand that limit won’t change just because your stuff is now stored on a server somewhere in nsa camps labeled as “neat cloud stuffy stuff”. Count on those excuses being stocked loaded and cocked waiting for the moment to use. Even though Level3 has already shown us that the reasons our ISPs give us for monthly limits are all BS.
So you will be eating your monthly limit just accessing your own files and when you hit your limits (which you will) you will get charged an overage charge. and you will be helpess if you are without a network connection.
I do not want web based apps.
I do not want a web based operating system.I do not want web based storage.
Don’t fear monger me into a new internet. Don’t tell me that I have to be scared of something new on the internet that will get me because there is no controlling it. Microsoft already did this to us with telling us to update and patch. With updates and patches that seemed to slow us down terribly, just before the release of their newest, latest and greatest operating system. Only to go through it time and again.
The reason to fear a new method of connection, is for privacy and the option to say “nah I’ll pass”.
We should always be allowed to pass .
Think of another way to protect us from your internet monsters.
