Rush Hour on Information Super Highway?

The source of the news is Fox news
In USA tablets, like the Ipad, are using all its bandwidth, this is because there are to many tablets using the internet at the same time, this you can compare it with a traffic jam. The bandwidth of USA was created for laptops only and knows it’s being used by lap tops and tablets.


This story has a few things that I think make it a little bias:
1) The choice of words and the tone of the reporters makes this out to be a disaster, but in reality it is not, it a a problem but not a disaster. a disater would be a nuclear war but not the internet being slow.


2) The story gives the statistic that 50,000,000 tablet PC's are estamated to be sold in the USA in the next year.


3) The peice of news was in the front page when I found it so lots of people will see it. This could mean it could make people angry.

4)The internet is being made faster and larger all the time with new fibre optic cables and faster computers so as long as these continue to be put in place faster than the growth in use of these hand held devices the problem should be containable.

Finally the story is not quite focused on one specific subject as it starts off by saying the we are running out of bandwidth and moves on to the speed of WI-FI and the same problem there.
