Creating a second internet?

Hello. I was just wondering... What would happen if i created a whole new web language like HTML except just changed a few things. Then create something like a DNS Server to host my new language's Ip addresses and started that. Then started a few webservers with my new language on it and created a browser to interpret it. Could I run it through todays average ISP? As in would a user in Japan be able to download my browser and be able to browser my new language on my webserver? Or is this impossible? - Cheers, Daniel

  1. impossible to much technical politics involved.
  2. yes that would work as the host doesn't do anything than host your files and the browser does nothing but interpret the data.
  3. Waste of time.
  4. why would you want another Internet???? I can see if the military wanted to have another one for security reasons...
  5. Haha this is exactly wat Microsoft did.... (ah well their not the only ones that define their own standards .... just.... a little offf of the proposed or allready running standards) so yes can be don easily good luck with it!
  6. Well, it is possible, but why? The important component is the TCP/IP which is the blood of the Internet. So, you need to invent a new protocol first, then bother about DNS, etc.... I believe the new Internet system will be better as you should know the weakness of the current one and design a better one.
  7. ITs really very very hard work, you need teams and teams to do the work you are talking about, you can't do it alone!
  8. First of all you've got a few technical details wrong. If you just create a new language it wouldn't have any impact on DNS. A new language just changes what is sent to a computer when it connects to the server. DNS is used to translate "yahoo.com" into the IP address for yahoo. Those are two different things. Also a new language wouldn't impact IP addresses at all, so you wouldn't have any issues with ISPs. All you would need to do is create a language and something to interpret it, a browser. The hard part is getting enough people to think your language is worth using. If it's different enough you'd need to get people to download your browser, which many won't do. It's a lot of work and you'd be competeing against the well set standards of today's internet. You wouldn't be creating a second internet with a new language. Honestly it would most likely be a complete waste of time. Creating a second internet is a whole different mess, much more involved, and really even less feasible.
