The Internets: A series of tubes

Have you ever been typing things on your computer monitor only to discover that the internets aren't downloading floppies fast enough to your screen? Well if you are anything like me, then I'm sure you have. Turns out most of us have that problem and it turns out it happens quite often. The best way to fix it is to find an experienced computer expert that really knows what he's doing. That's where I come in,.. I'm here to help!

Computers and the internets date all the way back to the mid 90's when Al Gore invented them. Back in those days, computers were connected together using copper wiring. The problem Mr Gore faced however was that the cable was too thin and thus nobody could download keyboards through them very easily. So because of that it was very slow. It is noteworthy to mention that back then they didn't call them "the internets" as they do today,.. but rather they called it, "dialup 56k" referring to the amount of alphabet numbers you could fit into an email screen.

Towards the late 90's and all the way through the early part of the new millenium, scientists began developing a series of tubes that would soon replace the "dialup 56k". This is around the time they started calling it "the internets". The tubes were much faster than the copper wiring. Many people can fit most of their DVD CD's into the tubes and send them to each other. The problem with that though is that the DVD CD's get clogged up into the tubes. Thankfully, Senator Ted Stevens (R - Alaska) has been working day and night sending internets back and forth with his colleagues in an effort to fix this problem. However, fixing the tubes is not an easy task. It's not a dump truck or something where you can just dump all your belongings on it.

Ok, so now we know how the internets work. It is a complex series of tubes! Modern technology truly is amazing. But that still doesn't solve the problem. It's very clear to me and Mr Ted Stevens that the internets are just way too fast anyway. I mean,.. who needs that kind of speed? I certainly don't. My 8 mbps cable tube modem is just too fast for my taste. Hopefully Mr Ted Stevens and friends can find a way to take all the fun out of the internets tubes before it's too late and becomes permanently clogged!!!
