Internet Addiction will have a new name, it'll be "The Grip" As in, "huh, yeah man... I was like, going to go to work today, but like, the grid has the grip on me." When you finally get Off-The-Grid, you start to have "gripbacks" in which you're thinking about your next tweet or email or blog post or 40TB video download. Of course, extended exposure to the Grid can result in Gridbites- the sores you get from ignoring personal hygiene while trippin' on the Grid for too long... Okay, that's enough. Seriously, though. IMO, it's just hype. Remember Internet 2? For what need will average consumers have of this kind of bandwidth? Any hardware (e.g. gaming platforms) that will actually be able to take any advantage won't be available for years. Heh, funny stuff. Internet Addiction will have a new name, it’ll be “The Grip”
