The Internet

Talking about the Internet everybody has his own personal ideas.
Somebody sees it as a "chat line" or a "downloading mean" or an "email server".
It is, for all, the way to "communicate with the world".
But in reality the Internet is nothing else than a "New infrastructure" as opposed to the old ones (voice, TV Mail)
It is so powerful that in a very near future will be the "only one" doing mostly the job of the old ones and in a much better way (faster, easier, more powerful)

That is why it looks ridicolous to me using means like the old phone lines to send "images".
With a 64bits line you simply CANNOT compete...
In the same way, it is stupid to use the mobile phone for TV or Movies, even small images.
The low bandwidth DOESN'T allow this.
It is a wonderful "mobile and ubiquitous" way to send voice, but that is and that must be.

Unless obviously they find a better way to use the air..
Even WI-FI and Wimax are not powerful enough.
At least for now, and it is plain silly to illude the consumer.

I am sure it will come either with a very new and revolutionary image compression, which will allow to send huge files in a very low bandwidth, or with a new way to use the available bandwidth (or with a combination of both).

But in the meantime we have to adapt to what is AVAILABLE NOW.
