The internet is running out IP addresses

I just read on CNN that the internet is running out of IP addresses and i can assure you this due to the new popularity of the internet on smartphones. I myself use two IP's, one for my home internet and one for my cell phone. Basically, we need to adopt the new ipv6 method which has trillions instead of billions of new addresses available. Or maybe more, i have no idea really. I just know it will alleviate the problem for a while.

Oh i just realized i use even more IP addresses because of my websites. Once the major ISP's switch to systems that can dish out IP addresses using the new system we will be okay granted people on the recieving end are also using new enough equipment that can lease these new IP's. I'm sure things will balance out. I'm far less concerned about the IP situation as I am the oil spill.
