Hi Shelly.

IPv4 allows 4 million endpoints on the whole Internet. IPv6 allows a
billions more. If we take all of the mobile phones, and give them IPv4
addresses, it would be depleted instantly. To accomodate the growth of
the internet, with more mobile phones, smart thermostats, and robots,
we need IPv6.
