There are physical limits to things. next people are giong to talk about current supercomputers ending up that size. just because statistics predict something DOES NOT mean it will happen.

@cloudiszkyz21 how could you say that when you are using the Internet and u have a YouTube account?

[cloudiskyz21]

THE WORLD WOULD BE CLEANSED OF SO MUCH BULLSHIT IF PEOPLE LIVED WITH OUT COMPUTERS FOR EVEN 5 days..just try it you probably cant...it does the complete opposite of what it should. i bet about 80 percent of teens and young adults don't use the computer to increase their knowledge intake. take your face off a screen, touch some pages, read a fucking book and learn how to do things through REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE. soon enough people won't even know how to communicate in real life. tad bias sorry.
