I wondered about that... I don't know anything about the math, but I used to look at fanart on dial up, and it was slow compared with today with much lower resolution, but nothing like as bad as he described.

Yeah, the math on those download time estimates is... iffy. At 56kb/s, that JPEG file would be ~75MB. The mp3 would be around 7GB. Didn't bother checking the Call of Duty estimate though, that one sounded close enough to me.

Indeed,I don't understand how on the planet earth you get the idea that a jpeg takes hours to download

Agreed. This didn't sum up.

Did some back of the envelope math on this cause it sounded really wrong to me too. at 56 kbits Call of Duty Black Ops 3, which steam says uses 100 Gigabytes of drive space, would take 161.4 days, less than half a year (Assuming constant speed and connection). I don't know what he's doing to get 740 years. Even misconverting bits to bytes or vice-versa only gives a power of 8 in error.

People just didn't understand how to make it economical. The idea of people paying for digital stuff seemed unfathomable. Apple built it's entire Ipod empire on the back of pirated music, before creating the Itunes store. Now people will buy all sorts of digital nonsense, let alone music, movies and games.

@@cattysplat paying for digital stuff

@@cattysplat I'd only consider that for 90% of stuff on phone's stores, and I wouldn't consider Steam that bad either. The reason I'm saying this is the downfall of mobile games and their ads not really home consoles or PCs, because that's entirely separate from your point

30 secs of video would take me 15mins to buffer. At times even more.

When I got "cable internet" around 1998-99, I used to stream the old ZDTV video feed, but it only worked like at 11pm.....on a good day. I think I managed to stream a "Real Audio" program barely in 1996.

Seriously? i wpuld watch various sci-fi movies like lost in space and think it was only a matter of time before stuff like touchscreens and the facecam streaming was real.

GIFs and flash videos were created to provide a video like experience using animation with low FPS and high compression. However it was streaming technology which has advanced the most, providing instant watching capability without needing to download a complete file before watching.

@@cattysplat that's still amazing.

Yeah, I watched Lain very recently, and it's very interesting how topical it is nowadays considering it was a low budget anime from 1998.

McAfee didn't kill himself

Indeed, blockchain tech/cryptocurrency seems like it’s on a similar track to the arc of the internet described here

THETA!!! RESEARCH THETA TOKEN! ITS THE CLOUD PREDICTION REALIZED! NOT KIDDING!

Not really, cloud computing today is just distributed servers. Not the same thing as blockchain. The main providers are Amazon and Microsoft. AWS and Azure.

The cloud theory is right but not quite, basically it will be like a single mainframe everyone connects to globally which is the starlink and a few other mini satellite constellations piggybacking off starlink to provide a global service, the world will be connected then not just local services. Then like what we're already seeing them starting to do is connecting all the airport services across the entire country to a single mainframe which they have mostly managed to do already but they're still ironing out the kinks. Then eventually everything is going to have a bunch of it's own mainframes to connect entire services like stores, workshops, factories, and what else there is which will eventually all connect to a master mainframe and as a result they'll need like up to 5 backup servers for each mainframe. This would then allow for such sharing that is described in the cloud theory and already it's been a thing possible by running a few projects on the boinc software sharing computer resources to help them do research but i think such heavy research will remain separate. Other sharing will be much lighter and just be like we do now sending files and data through an internet connection but they can do it through just signals too sending a bigger data package like what we see in star trek. Although they use subspace transmissions but they could still send any data over radio wave transmissions aka the internet, but it was slower than subspace and couldn't get through various interferences of space. They could only do it over a certain distance though so because of the delay until a century later where it was instant, it would get to wherever they were sending it quickly the closer they were preferably getting super close next to the starship or planet. I think one day we'll be able to do that but until then we'll be able share through the mainframe all kinds of data. There's already talks of using air gap security too which is what they did in star trek by only allowing people access to certain areas of the mainframe either on the starship or on earth and what their career and rank was. They used padds to pass data around so it would only be on a padd not connected to the mainframe, because of course they couldn't always only use the data they were allowed access to for a lot of circumstances. Logically with different industries having their own mainframes too it would have to go the same way for better security, but i doubt they'll be passing around the tablets just yet because they're expensive so they'd still have a sharing system to be able to share certain things they need to with their employees. So they're mostly right with their cloud theory they just couldn't see the full extent of it but we can now because of recent advancements.
