"However, in this world where technology moves about as slow as a rabbit on the wrong end of an electric cattle prod, problems arise. Where 12Mbps was more than sufficient 3 years ago, that bandwidth is getting a bit cramped. Take, for example, USB scanners. An insane graphic designer with a dye sublimation printer wants to scan an image at 1200dpi. Lets also assume he has an ungodly expensive drum scanner that can handle this optically. Now, with technology advancing, it stands to reason that his god awfully expensive scanner will scan his ungodly huge file relatively quickly. The problem arises that a mere 12Mbps is slow for such a huge file. (I use this example because by day I work in a print shop). We want this data to be on the computer as soon as possible, so that we can get back to work. With USB 2.0, there is no problem, because USB 2.0 supports a maximum transfer speed of a slightly higher 480Mbps. "
