Right now the internet is far to slow for anything but a novelty an entertainment medium. But the future holds radical changes to the way we view and use computers, telephones, television, stereos and other home and buisness devices. For one thing the internet is far too disjointed and disorganized in its present state to provide good and fast information. It is not unusual for a search to reveal over 500,000 entries which are ranked as to their relevance, but searching all of them is virtually impossible. And even after you find the site that you are looking for, there is no guarantee that what you want to find will be there.
Sites are as different as night and day.
What goes on a site and where it goes is not standardized. The information you are seeking could require that you spend hours searching your favorite site before you realize that the site does not have the information that you wanted. Most of the information is there, but you need the time to seek it out. Time that often can be saved by a simple email or phone call question. Loosely defined, bandwidth is the amount of signal that you can force down the telephone lines.
