To be frank i am not sure which country you are from as i am connected to a high speed fiber optic connection for a very long time and i do not want my connection to be linked to a blockchain as i want my privacy as i do not want all my connecting peers to be timestamped so that someone can verify what i am accessing, right now i know how the internet works and i know how i can have my privacy but to link every connection to a timestamp is not a cool way to access things as i privy my privacy and i am not sure what these things have to do with internet speed and blockchain. 
Topic: Since 2009 There Was A 500% Increase In Internet Traffic. - page 2. (Read 750 times)
The cause of the 500% increase in internet traffic is simple: more people are becoming more aware of the right use and need of the Internet. This simply has nothing to do with Bitcoin nor blockchain technology. Do you know the amount of people that started using mobile phone then especially in underdeveloped countries? Its is the adaption of 'technology'.
Even if the the blockchain technology didn't emerge, there will still be this same growth in internet traffic.

Blockchain technology in data services are totally different than centralized ones not in speed or anything else but more like safety.
I mean you can still hack a centralized data because it is consisting in just one place whereas in blockchain systems data is shared into thousands of pieces in everyone's computer, that way you know you are not getting "hacked" for your information. If iphone for example used blockchain technology, we wouldn't had the icloud hack. Same idea for corruption as well, lets assume there is a huge fire in a big data center, that would destroy many information unless there is a backup somewhere else.
In blockchain you get a subpar product for sure, however you get a safer product as well, it is like typewriter versus computer, of course you prefer computer but you know typewriter is more sturdy and computer is more needy, doesn't change your preference of computer but that is somewhere on your mind.

And how exactly can blockchain help with this? I don't know about the "internet" but for cloud storage, wouldn't that require servers to actually hold the files for you? Since blockchain is about the data being shared across users does this mean everyone gets a copy of my file? That would be a burden to them.
Or would it be like when compressing files into RAR and setting to split into multiple parts? That's the only way I can think this will work. Like send a 1gb file to the "cloud" and it get split into 1mb copies if there were 1000 people in the network.
Blockchain isn't responsible for possible expansions of cloud storage though. Even if it is, It wouldn't do the job any better than the current internet service providers the world currently has. We're talking about speed here, and Blockchain, with the many processes it actually needs to finish a block, would never hold a candle against the other ISP's.
I've seen this personally. I'm from the generation that had "dumb phones" and we had to go to internet cafes to do our research. Now pretty much the only thing people here go to cafes for is play games if their PCs are not that good for gaming.
But even that is starting to dwindle as many mobile games gain more popularity. I believe they are now also included in esports tournaments, which used to be only PC and console events. I wouldn't be surprised if a large increase in traffic is due to kids spending alot of time playing on their phones.
Especially with the portability of Smart Phone, which is the best feature of it compared to Pc's. It really brings the concept of gaming anywhere tbh. Just that, it's immersion is kind of lacking compared to PC which is nothing really new. But even that is starting to dwindle as many mobile games gain more popularity. I believe they are now also included in esports tournaments, which used to be only PC and console events. I wouldn't be surprised if a large increase in traffic is due to kids spending alot of time playing on their phones.
so what is the connection with this to crypto ? i was just speed reading on what is written on the first page but i havent see the word crypto or blockchain , or if it was on the full article provided on the link .
i was only expecting that youl say that crypto can also end up just like internet where its users can also increase in the future . why not ? crypto and internet are both useful so the demand will remain growing for others that havent used it or only just discovered it lately .
Nothing tbh. Just that the article/companies are connecting it to blockchain somehow for a reason I don't really understand. Kinda forcing it to be in the news you know? i was only expecting that youl say that crypto can also end up just like internet where its users can also increase in the future . why not ? crypto and internet are both useful so the demand will remain growing for others that havent used it or only just discovered it lately .
The increase in traffic is mostly due to countries now developing and starting to have stable electricity and phone lines. The creation of the smartphone also played a big part. Even people who can't afford a desktop would be able to go online and engage.
I can't see ways blockchain would help with this currently. From my understanding, with blockchain everyone "hosts". Imagine all that we do on the internet now, how much size that would take.

I agree smart phone comprises the larger group of online user traffic IMHO. You don't need to have a pc to go online, but a simple , cheap android phone will do. It means also that more people are getting hook online, which is fast changing the way we live. It changes work as you can telecommute now, more are becoming Homebase,it changes the conventional way we transact business.

I can kinda understand the 7 devices connected in a house hold, I mean if you are 3 people, each with one computer and one phone that is 6 devices already, add in a television or an ipad whatever and you will have yourself 7 easily.
However, I am not entirely sure with 6.5 devices per person and how we can get that, even if I have a computer, a laptop, a mobile phone, an ipad and ps4 that makes it 5 and that is stretching to maximum, add in my TV and that would be 6 at best, and that is me trying to add in every possible thing I can connect to internet and we are talking about more than that on AVERAGE.
In any case the world being connected to internet is a marvelous thing, remember in 80's how financial world and politics all tried to do what they are doing in secrecy and only thing we could learn info was from newspapers and television which was (and still is) owned by rich people, now we have internet and stuff like twitter where we actually get all sides of the stories and learn and react accordingly.

The world is still been connected to the internet, as some nations of the world don't have a good access to the internet and when they manage to have, it's usually slow and extremely expensive, depriving many of this populace the chance to use and share data. The continent of Africa, for example, has a poor internet connection in most of her nations yet there is a struggle to migrate to the new age, so we expect more and more growth in internet users in the coming years. Without the internet, a smart business may just cripple and fold up due to the inability to compete with their competitors.
We like to see adoption right and in order to see adoption grow we should see people to have more access on the internet.
This article says a lot of good news for the future of crypto, first step for adoption is government acceptance and regulation, then people will start using and they can learn and access it because of the internet availability.

And i think this is to show that in the coming more years, blockchain maybe the future of transaction. |Most transactions now consists of online options. I once saw an article that tackles how blockchain can be the new bank in the 2030's. So i think now is a good learn and take advancements with the technology.

I have no idea how you would even connect the various data storage/cloud storage the world needs towards blockchain. I mean, it's not even a speedy connection, which is required by most of us today. No, It doesn't bring 50mbps towards your usage of the net. It doesn't magically help you bring the problem of speed requirement to a stop. There's actually a lot of process involved with it, and simply using it anywhere is not applicable. Crypto uses blockchain because it is the perfect measure for it. The blockchain can use the internet to spread around various usages for it, but blockchain cannot be the internet.
Hmm! Any small thing, Blockchain Blockchain. You do know Blockchain isn’t that efficient, right?. Decentralized data storage systems are cool. It is quite easy to talk about how blockchain is going to solve this problem or any other problem. But how viable is it? Does it have to be with blockchain? Many times, no.
Most people without know about how old they are know whit internet and make access whit game and watching youtube and many social media can access by using internet, many country try to give friendly way for their people with internet speed and give most easy way how internet become most benefit for every people, but have bad effect if parent no control with his child internet access.

Some decentralized blockchain projects require decentralized storage, but decentralized storage doesn't need blockchain to work. In fact, blockchain is undesirable there, because it's redundant, inefficient, doesn't scale well. Also, centralized data stores will generally be faster and have more capacity, the point of decentralized ones is censorship resistance, which comes with tradeoffs.
Exactly!
There is a common misconception among people regarding blockchain technology. They think it's some kind of fairy tale magic which can make any internet use-case better. But that's not always right. Blockchain Technology is not optimizable everywhere especially when we are concerned with speedy data transmission. Blockchain Technology requires some extra computation work like Proof of Work in order to validate blocks and enhance security. But involving blockchain unnecessary will only leads to waste of resources.
I have also created thread couple of days ago to know what people think Blockchain Technology is: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.53544680
When there is increase in population it is hard to fulfill the needs with the hand written process. To the growing population there is need for technology to move forward. This is where internet gets the importance, through internet everything gets interconnected making everything possible within seconds. Apart from this people are much used to the smartphone usage making the internet traffic high.
Yeah I agree in the past people can only access the internet when they are on their desktop and on their laptop but since the creation of smartphone, and wifi, people now can access the internet anywhere and at all times, this is one of the contributing factors why we have huge and an increase in internet traffic.
It is better to link the ease of access to the Internet and the multiplicity of devices with the digitization of payment methods, be it centralized, decentralized or using blockchain.
Blockchain will not solve Internet problems, but it may contribute to fewer complications when we talk about transferring money, and fees can also decrease dramatically.
Also, the speed of the Internet affects the number of full nodes, and hence the increase in decentralization.
