While researching for this assignment, I came across this article on Medium and I was instantly intrigued.

Paul Butler was a Facebook intern in 2010, and offers an in-depth explanation of how and why the internet works and will soon be replaced. He also how this change is going to effect us and how we are actually causing it. It was such an interesting article to me because of the concept of "flooding" that he proposes will soon replace the Internet. "Flooding" allows faster, safer, and more efficient data transfer, particularly between multiple devices. This, he says, is soon going to replace the internet, allowing us to become even more effortlessly connected. While much of this article is technical, it is still an important read to gain practical insight into how our technology, and in turn, our communication works, because without understanding that, we can't understand the core of our communication across these platforms.
