The European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN) is working towards closely developing an Internet infrastructure 10,000 times faster than the present system. According to www.techshout.com, the particle physics center in Geneva that created the web, has built “the grid for the purpose. Should the new system be accessible globally, it is likely to revolutionize the web surfing. The new broadband system will facilitate the act of downloading feature films in seconds. Video telephone and audiovisual communication at local telephone prices will be another significant achievement of the new broadband infrastructure. The Times Online (UK) quotes David Britton, professor of physics at Glasgow University and a ‘leading figure in the grid project’ saying specifically that: “With this kind of computing power, future generations will have the ability to collaborate and communicate in ways older people like me cannot even imagine”. However, it is less likely that ordinary consumers will be able to get it so soon since the new inventors and investors will have to fight with global US multinational corporations at initial stages.
