| Scrapping The Internet
NEW YORK (AP) - Although it has already taken nearly four decades to get this far in building the Internet, some university researchers with the federal government's blessing want to scrap all that and start over.
The idea may seem unthinkable, even absurd, but many believe a "clean slate" approach is the only way to truly address security, mobility and other challenges that have cropped up since UCLA professor Leonard Kleinrock helped supervise the first exchange of meaningless test data between two machines on Sept. 2, 1969.
The Internet "works well in many situations but was designed for completely different assumptions," said Dipankar Raychaudhuri, a Rutgers University professor overseeing three clean-slate projects. "It's sort of a miracle that it continues to work well today." http://www.breitbart.com/article.ph...&show_article=1
Hm, logistically, this just doesn't seem possible.. or does it?

| I'd be all for scrapping the internet and starting over, as long as I get all the good domains  | |

| I think the idea is more so building another pipeline optimized with all the new technology and hardware and putting all the traffic on that. I think it's more of the servers and old machinery that they want to scrap and start over with..who knows.
On some level it makes sense to have 2 internets. If the new one is vastly better, I would think the migration would be fairly easy assuming that if you go to abc.com on the old internet and abc.com on the new one and the new one is faster better stronger...
Not sure it would work that way but I guess well see.

| I agree with franchise !
I dont think they will scrap the current one but they will create a new one in the future , maybe it will not even be called Internet

| yea i agree with franchise too. Its been too long, and it will be quite impractical. I hope they don't scrap it. they'll probbaly just end up modifying it in some ways, if they end up doing something about it
