Who could've thought in 1981 that more than a few thosand universities would ever like to connect to the then 250 machines big ARPANET. With 4 billion addresses, there was plenty of headroom at the time.

In 50 years, when the last ISP finally switches to IPv6, we'll be wondering how short sighted we were as now every pencil has an IP address in the interplanetary compu-global-hyper-meganet.
