Would the world ever run out of IP addresses? Since all computers and websites have IP address, and with the replacement of computers along with exponential increase of information on the web, is it possible? And what will happen when they run out?
I doubt this will happen. . . http://www.endoftheinternet.com/

I was wondering the same thing. If there is a set number of ip addresses, surely we will reach the end of them someday or will the addresses just become longer?
I read up on it, and while there is a possibility of this happening I think they would just add more numbers.
good question. do you know in theory, how many computers can we have on the Internet before we run out of IP address?
From the article I read its some where around 4.2 Billion unique IP addresses.
