The "father of the internet" says the world is going to run out of internet addresses "within weeks" – and it will be all his fault.
Google's chief internet evangelist, Vint Cerf, who created the web protocol, IPv4, that connects computers globally, said he had no idea that his "experiment" in 1977 "wouldn't end".
"I thought it was an experiment and I thought that 4.3 billion [addresses] would be enough to do an experiment," he said in group interview with Fairfax journalists. Advertisement: Story continues below
The protocol underpinning the net, known as IPv4, provides only about 4 billion IP addresses - not website domain names, but the unique sequence of numbers assigned to each computer, website or other internet-connected device.
The explosion in the number of people, devices and web services on the internet means there are only a few million left.
The allocation of those addresses is set to run out very shortly but the industry is moving towards a new version, called IPv6, which will offer trillions of addresses for every person on the planet.
"Who the hell knew how much address space we needed?," Cerf said.

I sincerely hope you're joking.
In any case, I do wonder what could happen if we really run out of addresses. Will the Internet spontaneously... die?
I'm not joking, I have Internet. I am not affected by this.
No offense, but the way how you managed to miss the point of the entire article is pretty astonishing.
I didn't miss the point, I just don't give a shit. Think of me how you wish.
