With such rapid advances in data transfer rates this is likely to bring the world much closer together, well at least in terms of social interaction. I am now comfortable knowing that in the near future i will have access to anything i want in an instant.
However, with that been said, is it likely we will see an increase in internet related crimes such as piracy? i believe that with technology advancing more and more everyday we are likely to some people trying to exploit the system, but we shouldn't allow them to ruin it for the rest of us. it is likely that internet policing will increase in the hopes to counter act this problem.
Do you think society will benefit more or less from faster data transfer rates? Do the pros overcome the cons?

I think higher speeds just means things will be a lot more convenient. I think piracy will increase dramatically because people will be able to download a whole lot faster. There will be more internet crimes but at the same time new information will be provided, and with such high speed great new online products and services will be provided. think about it without people upgrading the speed of their internet and getting broadband, youtube would be useless to us.
