Vint Cerf, the man who helped invent the system and one of the world's leading computer scientists, said that the web does not have enough unique codes that allow computers to communicate with each other.
He said that when the internet protocol (IP) addresses do run out, the connectivity of the internet will be damaged and some computers will not be able to go online.

Well there's a man who hasn't heard of NAT
That story is barely half-true. NAT and IPv6 are both well-known solutions to this artificial problem. This is only the fault of lazy ISPs and over-eager block allocation.
