You people have absolutely no idea about this issue! You are all complaining about the negative effects of this one article but don't see the need behind it!
IPv6 main purpose is to extend the available amount of IP numbers available because in a few years all IP numbers will be taken! IPv6 basically adds an area code to the already existing IP version to allow for a larger pool of addresses.
Everything will be uniquely
addressed -- your refrigerator, your microwave
oven, your wristwatch, anything that can be
connected to the network.
This can be done today already! All you have to do is give each device its own IP number! They might be able to uniquely address a single IP number but if you are behind a router or a network that supports VPN (Virtual Private Network) or NAT (Network Address Translation) they can’t do shit because all your devices share the same WAN (Wide Area Network) IP number!
Besides, uninstalling IPv6 won’t help you , in a few years or less, this will become mandatory and you won’t be able to log on the Internet anymore if you don’t have the current IP version installed!
