That’s just humans in general, and it certainly isn’t limited to our outlook on the future of the internet. Big 
advancements will always take us by surprise because our lizard brains have a hard time comprehending exponential 
growth. Someone please stop me here before I get on my Battery-EV soapbox. :D

It always amazes me how an industry that has , since its inception, been constantly solving new problems to make things 
work, always finds a way to assume the next problem will be unsolvable.

Hi folks,

Has anyone proposed that the adoption of billions of IoT devices will ultimately ‘break’ the Internet?

It’s not a rhetorical question I promise, just looking for a journal or other scholarly article that implies that the 
Internet is doomed.
