Web technology origins & future technology from LHC

The LHC Will Revolutionize Physics. Can it Revolutionize the Internet Too? | Universe Today

The Web with its hyperlinks was developed at CERN to share and manage their information. Now we have many websites like Alldeaf due to this framework being developed.

The Large Hadron Collider will produce one gigabyte of information per second, resulting in petabytes of information, so they developed the LHC Computing Grid, involving fast connections, a tier structure and powerful middleware to manage and communicate all of this. Who knows what the Internet will become with this new technology?

I am not sure what I am getting because it's hardly revolutionary. It's all about parallel computing.

Let's say if your cable can only max out at say 2 Mbps, to make it go faster, you can either get a new cable that's capable of carrying more than that OR you can have another cable to carry more data at once.

Windows NT used to support dual modems where you can have two modems tied together as one modem and it would effectively double the speed. The only problem is that there's no way to download a file using both modems at once. They needed to have servers that lets them split files into smaller parts and send splitted files to two modems at once.

Intel's cores is based on same technology... adding more cores can help increase performance BUT that's assuming that software is capable of processing them in parallel and there are some algorithms that it is NOT possible to do parallel computing.
