The United States owns 74 percent of the 4 billion available Internet protocol (IP) addresses. China's stake amounts to little more than that of an American university. Not surprisingly, China is championing the next wave of the Internet, which would accommodate 340 trillion trillion trillion IP addresses.

But there is this little tiny problem. Mandarin Chinese, one of so many Chinese dialects, has over 64,000 pictograms, not letters as in the English 26. It is highly inconvenient to deal with Chinese pictograms, particularly when you're typing on a keyboard.

Welcome to the world of the round-eyed.

Wow. A lot of traffic at the North Pole. Is it Christmas already?

It escapes some geniuses to consider that a chart is useless if it can't actually be read and examined...
