The Internet ran out of space??? WHAT???
I'm just kidding. Well, kind of. I found a news article that says that this Thursday that passed the internet ran out of space, but since it was anticipated, the problem had already been solved. The old pool of Internet Protocol adresses had about 4.3 billion. The new pool, which has been ready since 1999, has 340 undecillion. There are a couple more details in the article and I will post the look for anyone who is interested.

That's great to know that we are moving on to larger amount of availability of internet space. Especially as our new generation is using probably quadruple the amount of internet used just 10 years ago.
