Oh LAN , it seems like it was only yesterday that your first commercial installment ( ARCnet ) was born at Chase Manhattan Bank in New York . We must give thanks to Harry Pyle and that meatball sandwich he was eating for providing the inspiration behind ARCnet all those age ago . delight it while you’re able to old friend , because the metre are changing , and you may not last to see your 40th .
According to at least one analyst , the LAN may die an other death thanks to what he is calling “ de - perimeterization . ” As firms move more towards radio set , the day may soon come where each reckoner has its own internet connection “ with appropriate security department technology”—skipping the LAN completely . Performance and dependability hurdles must be overwhelm , but it is entirely plausible that one day , average computers will have a wireless Gb connexion at once to the internet . finally , the LAN will give way to an all - encompassing WAN . Whether that will hap — much less in as little as 10 years is anyone ’s guess . [ ComputerWorldviaSlashdot ]
