Not if you read the whole article instead of just the highlights. :P

This is nothing more than a switch from IPv4 to IPv6 that was a long time coming. I do not expect it to be particularly eventful.

this, its been known for awhile that IPv4 wouldnt last forever. They actually first thought we'd run out in early 2000s.

Have no fear (or hope) - the internet itself is not running out; this is just yet another example of a journalist yet again opting for a humorous/fearful headline over one that is actually accurate. :P

Well it's not pointless; the moment in time when IPv6 becomes an Internet necessity is actually a pretty momentous occasion from a geeky standpoint. It's certainly not a cause for alarm though.

This is horrible news. Are terrorists involved? Will this appear on Fox news to hype us into a frenzy? Wait a minute... The internet was just fine a couple of years ago, why is it in trouble now? My god... [spoiler] It's that Obama again! [/spoiler]

and who could blame them? I mean who's gonna read your article if the title was, "The internet would be gone forever, but instead nothing is really gonna change!!!!!"

Very true if the article was strictly about that. But it was a pointless stunt to attract more viewers.

Yeah, but anyone geeky enough to understand that would realize that the headline is pointless and ridiculous. :P
