If the Internet goes bust!!
Saw on the news last night that teenagers on youtube and MSN and facebook etc. etc. 100 percent of the time are using up all the Internet's bandwidth. If something isn't done about it, they say things will slow down and that will be the end of the Internet as we know it!!!
Can you imagine? What would we do without it? I don't spend 100 percent of my time on here but I do spend a good deal of time. What the heck would we do instead? I think someone better make sure that doesn't happen!!
It said that (I believe) in 2007 Youtube alone used up all the bandwidth that the whole Internet used in 2000.... or something like that!

I can't believe anyone would do that, or indeed use the works time and pc to be frequenting internet forums. Shame on you for even suggesting it
