It seems that we are having a problem , In today's world we use ipv4 protocol (internet addressing system to access over the internet) the main problem is that the current protocol  can only handle over 4 billion devices but the users using internet is exceeding over 4 billion. So what now ? None of your worries. The ip address is shared between two devices.

The ipv4 has only room for 4 billion people , which is not nearly enough for the worlds people, Recently and in the future devices using internet like cars, refrigerator, mobile phones , glasses , pcs, laptops, watches, tvs and so on. more than 4 billion devices on earth are already sharing address as ipv4 runs out of free addresses , (unique ip address ) everyone need to share.

We are out of space and we are in need of more space, the big question is how much ? well it might me in form of trillions yeah that what it is being introduced today (june 6). ipv6 ( its a new protocol introduced today for the world)  has a lot of features but making over , recreating , renovating the web certainly needs a time but google says that the " the transformation has begun  but this day marks the start of a coordinated rollout by major websites and Internet service and equipment providers.
