What Is Real Breakthrough?

• Nowadays, many people argue about what the next
  generation internet. They think, there will be a
  huge communication cable provided globally for
  satellite medicine, satellite conferences, etc...
  In the future. Visual data use (like TV phones)
  will increase more than you can imagine.
• Compare with it, most important thing is we can
  send only 1 bit by suitable cost for only 1 bit.
  Its not we can send a large data stream for
  multi media.
• The most important thing that happened was that
  the cost to transmit data has been lowered
  according to its size. In other words, today we
  can send small data for almost free.
