[QUOTE=Rastadogg5;36491427]You could download ALL the porn.[/QUOTE] All 50 terabytes of it.
The great thing is you could probably play on any game server coming from China or Europe if you were from the U.S.A and probably get below 10 ping. Everything else is entirely up to your setup and up to the server's setup afterwards, if there was any problems at all.

"how much porn DID you download" "all of it man"

So cloud storage becomes a reasonable alternative to local storage, finally?

It would only make sense for light to become the only thing that can travel faster than light.

We could run the cables through the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_train"]gravity train[/URL] tunnels.
That's quite a leap from the speeds we currently have.. Very awesome.
I want them to use quantum entanglement somehow to make pings a thing of the past.
[QUOTE=Frankiscool!;36485571]at those speeds you literally COULD download the internet.[/QUOTE] A car.
Would this really speed up data transfer between machines such as computers by such a large fraction? On each end of this light transfer interface there would have to be electrical components in order for the device to be able to interpret the signal. Wouldn't that conversion into electricity just slow down the transfer?
Oh god, can you imagine all the shit you could put on your computer at that rate? My hard drive. It aches.
