Is it Possible? According to Ryan Wright of the University of Virginia, there is only a small possibility that the Internet can be down forever. First, internet providers have built redundant connections to make it nearly impossible to shut it down universally.

How long will the internet last?

At the current rate of growth, the internet will run out of addresses in a little more than ten years. To be fair, no one could have envisioned the number of people who would be using the internet today, or the varied uses that it would be put to.

Will the internet exist in 100 years?

In 100 years, it's highly likely something new and more involved will replace the internet. Everyone on the planet will be networked. Homes, cars, businesses, even our bodies will be instrumented and monitored. Augmented reality will become normal.
