We are already out of addresses. I cannot easily connect from my laptop in my apartment (behind a NAT) with a friend's laptop in his apartment (because it is also behind a NAT). This makes quickly transferring pictures or documents from my machine to a friend's machine a pain in the neck. We ran out of addresses for practical purposes years ago. Anyone who is running a NAT is doing so because it was easier to do that than to try to get address space.
