More about this video:
This video provides a solid, clear definition of core networking technology for a non-technical audience.

In preparation for the launch of Cisco's new corporate website in early 2011, we developed a series of videos, this being one, focused on our main areas of business. As these videos get shared and viewed, our hope is that they will not only show our relevance in these areas, but also provide a better understanding of why you should care about these areas of technology. These are videos that serve not only to educate those outside the tech industry, but also influencers - whether they be investors, analysts, media, or business leaders - who are looking for solid, creative ways to explain the techiest of tech topics in simple terms. Enjoy!

Full script:

Look, I don't mean to be a downer but tweeting about heartbreak and loneliness from your iphone is a pretty old story, okay? That's what yesterday's network could do. We gotta start thinking about what tomorrow's network's gonna do for you. Right?

Let me put this into numbers...
Five... twelve... sixty-6.

We're talkin' internet here.

In just a few years Internet traffic will grow 5 times.

Online video? 12 times!

Mobile traffic? Sixty-6 times

Cloud computing will transform the business world.

I can't help falling in love with this technology - routers, switches, mobility and security- they're all at the heart of this new network... and speed. Check this out.

Cisco has a router that can download the entire printed contents of the U.S. Library of Congress in just over 1 second.

Solid platform architecture leads to great designs... Making it easy to upgrade equipment or add new capabilities.

This is a new network for a new world - powerful, intelligent - giving you the ability to access video, data and voice anytime, anywhere and on any device.

Yeah, that's great. Hey, you getting wireless in here?

You know, I think Bono would have gotten this a lot quicker.
