Is the Internet Infinite or finite?

Well, since infinaty is a way of expressing really large numbers which theoretically have no limit, and the internet theoretically has no limit*, I would say its infinate.

*Since we are already developing new drives which can hold more data and use less material, that aspect isn't taken into consideration here.

At a certain point we will have to give up on Moore's Law.
Even then, the Universe is technically infinite, so the internet will be infinite (if a bit laggy considering all the lightyears the servers will be apart.)

The Internet is finite. Period.

The POTENTIAL for the internet is unknown, but we know for certain that the Internet is finite.

END OF STORY! Bye bye! See you later.

(Now, someone mention parfaits.)

Just as im sure some people thought this debate could go on forever, it didn't.

Now, the bump thread.. i dont know about infinite but it will surely outlive the internet.

Imagine having to pay the property taxes on an infinite universe.

Imagine having to pay the service fees on infinite bandwith.

Imagine having no more pizza.


Ah, behold three things which no one should have to imagine.
