Why, yes of course! The internet tubes will be replaced with USB 3.0, which is easily done because USB hubs are very cheap. When this is done, everybody will have 5 Gb/s!

True, but USB 6.0 has a paper clip that pops up at inopportune times to offer unhelpful or irrelevant suggestions about your projects.
