All web page addresses quickly running out.
It has been official since about the 1980's that the internet will run out of addresses, preventing new web pages, computers, mobile devices, and people trying to connect to the internet from being able to. In approximately three days, yes THREE (3) DAYS THE INTERNET WILL RUN OUT OF ADDRESSES! :o Count_Down_HERE .
When you connect to the internet you are assigned an IP Address (IP stands for Internet Protocol). An IP Address is address your computer is assigned so that data from off in the oblivion of the internet knows where to be sent to. When you type in an address such as "http://www.google.com" it first has to be translated into an IP Address so your computer knows where to go to, In this case so you can see Google. This is done by asking a DNS Server (Domain Name Server) where the address for "http://www.google.com" is. It then looks at a list and matches the Domain name, www.google.com, with an IP address which would look something like "74.125.224.48" [you are given the DNS servers address by your ISP (Internet service provider, the company that gives you an internet connection)]
All devices on the internet require an IP Address and these are quickly running out. The current version is IPv4, which contains about 4.3 billion addresses, and there are only about 4,000,000 left at the time of this posting. To be ready for this switch I’d advise everyone to try this in your browsers address bar "ipv6.google.com" if you manage to see a Google page you are all set for IPv6. Take a look again if it doesn't work,if you use a router you will need to check your router specification to see if you have IPv6 support, if it has IPv6 support and you still don't have IPv6 support then you need to complain to your ISP (whoever it is that gives you your internet)
