Well, I think that by 2005, most people who play games SHOULD have the internet...like seriously..if its the year 2005, and if you live in a first world country and dont have the internet...I think that would be rather lame..soon everything will be done on the internet.

And as for slow connections, I think they should just get rid of dial-up/narrowband....everyone should be connected with BroadBand...or, make a new internet connection, like it being connected through a wall outlet...or something like that...2005 is still 3 and some years away...and we know how fast technology advances...so... I dunno. They can prolly find many wyas around those problems.

like 75% of the world uses dialup.

i doubt they're get rid of it that fast

the president of sony said that all things are going to be interent based in the near future, including ps3. ps3 will be using different kinds of interent methods, none that anyone has seen so far. He said this "Soon the internet will be like a television; everyone will have it and use it on a commonly regular basis." straight outa my PSM. if someone doesnt have the internet or a fast enough connection thats their tough luck. If someone says "oh i cant play the games cuz i dont have the internet" that'll be just like someone else saying "oh i cant play the games cuz i dont have a tv"

the question is not what the internet will become..

its how soon will it become that? and i dont see it happening THAt soon.

just tellin wut he said

Especially if the price of broadband doesn't drop much by 2005 :-o

Although that's like 3 years away so yeah it probably will drop some :D

today's broadband will be considered narrowband by 2005, methinks

I doubt it.... but meh....

If it is, at least it would be munch cheaper than it is today... I hope :unsure:

With the user base constantly going up and the quality of the speed going down, it will seem like narrowband by '05. Hopefully the T (insert number here) or fiber optic's take over as the broadband of the household.

maybe by than everyone will be paying $40/month for OC3
