Topic: Since 2009 There Was A 500% Increase In Internet Traffic. (Read 655 times)

Since 2009 the amount of devices too is been maximized and we can see number of devices using internet in 2020.
So why could we not expect growth in the price for bitcoins also? This is not something which should be considered though but the invention of bitcoins would never have any relations with the growth of internet traffic  i guess.

This is natural, the Internet is slowly integrating in all the activities that we do and we need more speed as more people come and join it, besides many of the activities that we do today were unthinkable a decade ago, I still remember that there was a time in which you needed to wait hours just to downland something which was a few megabytes in size and if for some reason you lost the connection you needed to start over and now you can download something like that in seconds.

wow, this is a very great number that shows that many people have come to bitcoin when it was first born. In fact, in 2009, there were no outstanding events other than cryptocurrency. Perhaps as many people have been able to predict the future of bitcoin is great, have come to sites that can claim bitcoin for free. I wish I had come in contact with technology earlier in 2009 and now I have a wealth of assets. Technology is really something very sacred for a modern world.

right, appearance is the main to build trust, one of them is using .com, this is impressed that its activities are worldwide. but as a good developer, of course you have to maintain trust, so that it is mutually beneficial, unlike ico, which is a lot of fraud

In my country there are many people that still don't have internet, even more that never heard about bitcoin and blockchain. My first internet was in 2002, dial up connection. If I remember correctly in 2005 or 2006 I had adsl, I was one of the first among my friends. This increase in internet traffic is absolutely normal in my opinion. Younger generations can't live without internet today, interest in blockchain can also be explained.
In 2009 many people didn't have mobile phones, to not even talk about smart phones. Today just a few people don't have mobile phone, a little more don't have a smartphone. That tells a lot about increase! From last year anyone can use smartphone to mine some crypto, etn, phoneum and there are several more I think. People will take interest in that, people earn with their smartphone today, many more will earn tomorrow, and who can make that happen? Blockchain of course, which is a thing on the internet, of course.

There are many reasons why people do that, people like to look like they are smart and one of the ways to do that is to use advanced terms that very few people understand like blockchain, another reason is simply something similar to what happened during the dot com bubble, even if you have one of the most unprofitable ideas in the world as long as you added '.com' at the end of the name of your business you were seen as a modern company and you could receive millions of dollars in funding very similar to what happened with icos.

Unfortunately people are focusing their power on supporting consistent pleasures, instead of doing the beneficial work.
We could be living in better version of Ray Bradbury's world at this point, but we are lacking of motivation of doing hard but useful things.
I'm saying it because obviously Internet has enough speed and computers are advanced enough to live in comfort.
But we forget that more than 50% of people on planet still do not have any internet connection or/and devices to do that

We cannot live without the internet anymore and it is now a necessity for every person in this world, especially if you are going to have a business or you are going to build a network of people because internet will make it a lot easier for you. The increase in the demand for the internet will make sure that the upcoming projects will be expose to a lot of netizens around and it will provide an assurance of getting customers and potential investors like what happened in crypto.

It is not surprising that the consumption of Internet traffic is growing all the time. Devices that need to connect to the Internet is becoming more and more. More and more data needs to be processed. I think this trend will continue. For example, the quality of images transmitted over the Internet is constantly increasing. Further, computer games are becoming more advanced and consuming more resources, both computing and Internet traffic, etc.

That is because people open they're minded to accept something new that really helps their life, and with the internet, they have a chance to know other places out of their countries. They can read many good and bad news from other countries, and if it's necessary, they can take the lesson for themselves. We are sure that from this year, internet traffic will grow fast as we know that now, the technology was growing fast, and that reaches to all countries.

Many countries are preparing to support the growth of the internet by building the right devices that can be used without a problem, so people will use the internet for what they want. Perhaps, the other old stuff will not work in the future because that old stuff has been replacing by the newest technology.

I've always found it amazing how tech manages to fill the gaps as fast as it creates them.

More processing and memory? Hey, let's make programs fill that shit to the brim again even though they don't work any better. More bandwidth? Get some 4K. We can't be having any spare capacity now.

As for the article, I don't trust the cloud at all and find people who are cloud and nothing but seriously weird. Partly that's down to my being in the sticks. If I needed to stream my music and photos I'd never have access to the fucking things as there's no signal. Even on major roads and rail routes signal constantly fails.

I don't trust any subscription model and intensely dislike the modern trend for leasing digital content rather than actually owning it. All of these services that once upon a time promised everything rescind it as soon as they change ownership or can't make their business model pay.

If we throw in the cloud AND depending on a bunch of 'decentralised' strangers being bothered that morning to turn on their uploading that's a double turn off. I'll manage my own fully offline content, ta.

After the introduction of smart phones, the world entered a new era. The internet has now become a basic food like water. Internet and smart devices have increased our ability to trade. We are able to trade in very short periods. We can see much faster and larger transaction movements. 100-fold increases are not impossible even under normal market conditions.

That only is because the world is moving rapidly into a new era. Perhaps the world is getting more technical and it might bring thousands of peoples to use internet today. In today's world, nothing takes place without internet. Internet has vastly grown its roots in the human nature.

In 2009 there were poor connectivity and also they were not such advanced gadgets to use the internet. In 2020 there would be more advanced gadgets which would entirely run on the internet. Internet would grow 1000% maybe in the coming few years. This surely has nothing to do with bitcoins or the blockchain as even if blockchain wasn't introduced, the same would have been the case with internet.

Agreed. Peoples usually try to compare any thing with blockchain these days.
Yes, I agree that blockchain might be the solution to many things but why to related blockchain with anything we find on the internet?

Blockchain has minimum relation with internet growth. Blockchain runs on Internet so I think Blockchain depends on Internet and instead of Internet depending on Blockchain. If we consider the population growth from 2009 to 2019, it has grown to some extend and hence it is common that the Internet too would be on the ascending graph. The more peoples, the more the Gadgets would be and the more gadgets exist, the more they would consume Internet. It is as simple.

This is why there are majority of the banks which provide customers with online banking facility just because they want to carry all in their cell phones. People don’t appreciate visiting banks and probably this is because they like doing all online. Crypto is that is why adored by people. They can handle it easily from cell phones apart from mining. Yes a simple android works great for just buying and selling of coins.

Mobile phones can have one advantage over PC's, VR games are very easy on phones, you can just plop the phone on even a Google Cardboard, no new hardware needed. Almost everything these days require internet and phones can pretty much do everything save for the most demanding task. You can do most of your office work on mobile. I even see some artist do much of the process on their iPads.

now the internet is a basic need for everyone, where every day activities cannot be separated from the role of the internet, let alone the marketing world where it is believed to be more effective in reaching wider customers. therefore do not be surprised if the development of the internet becomes an absolute development to be followed

Due to the fact that the blockchain application is indeed very broad and can be utilized in several education sectors, citing UNCTAD publications. In Estonia, the government uses a blockchain to manage citizens' identities with the aim of helping validate individual identities. The government offers a blockchain-based digital identity card, which makes it easy for citizens to check public facilities, finance and even pay taxes. In Ghana, Georgia, and Switzerland, blockchain technology is used for land and building registration processes to make it easier for governments to validate property transactions.

WFP (Worl Food Program) also uses blockchain technology for humanitarian assistance projects to distribute money and food assistance in Jordan and Syria, with the aim of reducing overhead costs, increasing security and accelerating aid in remote areas.

The increase in internet traffic, in my opinion, is caused by:

- Innovation of technology spreads to other sectors, starting with internet innovation spreading to the development of smartphone technology.
- Through improving digital platforms there is a combination of technology, which accelerates the pace of technological growth.
- The cost of the internet is getting cheaper, as evidenced by the cheap price of smartphones, so that poor people can also have it.
- Internet connectivity and digitalization are a good combination of bringing up the mobile internet which provides wider opportunities for everyone to connect with each other.

Internet is internet, and the mechanism it has is completely different from blockchain, so I don't understand why the latter needs to be integrated within the internet.

We've come a long way from transmitting data from point A to point B using the internet. Starting with the huge undersea cables laid on the ocean floor as a framework on the 1850s to the fiber optic cables we have right now which transmits data faster with little to none of the data lost along the way. Satellites, for one, also helped in accommodating the world's need for internet connectivity. Elon Musk's Starlink project may prove to be one of the world's cheapest and most competitive broadband provider today, so there's that, too. We have crammed every possible data we can to the most efficient way possible to ensure that we are transmitting them almost immediately, and receiving them on the other end with no data lost and also, quickly. I'm pretty sure we're up to par with the world's demand for internet, and it shows.

I still don't think the blockchain has a substantial application when it comes to internet access. You just need to get information from point A to point B when you use internet, and if you want a secured connection, get it encrypted and your problem is solved. For cloud storage? Sure, blockchain can work, but then again you would need a centralized system to handle whose account is which and maintains the cloud, otherwise you're better off sealing those files that you have on the comfort of your own physical storage spaces.

This is a huge increase in terms of traffic because it simply means that the people are now going into full digital than before. Almost everything are now in the internet; businesses, information through articles, videos etc. Internet is now a huge part and it is now a need rather than a want and it shows a huge positive sign for the cryptocurrency itself to prosper in the near future because of the increasing number of users of the internet.
