Today’s Internet discovered by Tim Berners Lee at CERN in 1989 is already facing data delivery and download problems. The technology of the past – Dial-up, is almost obsolete with present trendy webistes which are very high on graphics and content. The present broadband technology which offers 256 KBPS also may not be enough with the kind of data being generated. Also, if you notice the end user do not get the actual speed of 256 KBPS. However, take heart – a new technology is comming to your aid. The “Grid Technology” is supposed to be 10,000 times faster than the present typical broadband internet connection. After the Grid technology is in place there will be no need of CDs/DVDs/Pen Drive as users can get 1 GBPS. This will allow users to download a movie in seconds.

Work on Grid technology was started at CERN based near Geneva in 2001 after work began on a new particle accelerator – Large Hadron Collider(LHC). As it was apparent that the present internet will not be able to take the huge load of data that will be generated. The Grid is more of a service for a sharing computing power and data storage capacity over the internet. It will allow online gaming with thousands of players and offer high defination video telephony for the price of a local call.
