I work in the computer industry and have heard some things like this but how
can you "expect" or predict how long it will take to download anything 5
years from now? I mean, if they started these HD or BR discs that can hold
astronomical amounts of data. Sure the bandwidth will increase but so will
the size of files. Not that it won't happen, just, I find it funny when
people predict an industry that moves at the speed of light, and think they
can be accurate 5 years into the future.
