Goodbye Internet...GRID is coming

Do you use High Speed Internet? Does it take time to load some websites? How much time do you take to download a movie on it? Hours ?? Well, the reason this happens is that the no of users using the Internet is far beyond its capacity. Any Solution?.. Yes there is ! Dont worry..The successor to the Internet - GRID is coming ! Using GRID, one would be able to download a movie in 7 secs ! The most loved Internet may soon look like the floppy drives of early 90s compared to the Blue-ray disc.

The inventor of the Web, CERN, a Swiss organisation, is laying bricks for the next-age communication with the Grid. The Grid is supposed to be 10,000 times faster than the current connections. On the lines of the Web, the Grid will first connect leading research and academic institutions. But eventually, it will reach homes as well.

The possibilities that the Grid will offer are so vast that the imagination will have to take a back seat and wait for the Grid.
