Can the internet space really be used up?

[Blue-ninja]

Yeah, our hard drive can eventually be filled up. FLAB's server RAMS can be filled up.

But the question here, can the internet itself can be filled up and has run out of space?

Let's imagine this: The internet is all around us. It is in the air. 100 gigabytes can only take up that small corner in your bedroom.

Myspace is huge. The popular forums (including this one) is huge. 4chan is kinda big, but a waste of space.

In all seriousness, discuss.

Only if the tubes get clogged up.

No, this is very impossible.

Why do you think hard drives keep getting bigger and bigger? To accommodate for all of this quickly increasing use of space.

Nani?

The essence of the internet can never actually be used up. Data only travels through the internet. It doesn't stay there.

Even if we were talking about the components to the internet -- that is, the computers themselves -- this would only be considered true if every single computer connected to the internet had not one single byte of hard-drive space left. Seems fairly impossible to me.
