Whats the Internet?

How old are you?

Well, the internet is an electronic space which can be thought of as a sort of alternate dimension, but not really, as it exists in our own dimension, but without a physical form, kind of. The dangers of the internet, is that it could potentially harbor a rogue A.I., or even somebody's brainwaves, should the be uploaded. This is deadly, because if a malicious, sentient entity were ever to control it, the powers that the internet provides could allow such an entity to have control over virtually anything. Not only are electronic devices at the mercy of a sentient entity, but mechanical ones as well, but this is due to the wireless internet. If you don't believe me, watch the film "Eagle Eye" which demonstrates the dangers that we may face in the future.

Everyone knew what the internet was by 1995. Granted, not everyone had it, most who did had AOL, and almost everyone was on dial up. My family had a computer in 95, with AOL. It was an old computer with less then 1GB hardrive. It was actually not powerful enough to reach the actual world wide web. Instead it could only do AOL applet sites, which at the time many companies had. Such as MTV for example.

A better movie to ask this question to is the movie wargames from 1983. Outside computer geeks of the time, most people probably couldn't tell what was real (hacking in general / computer geeks hacking into school networks to change grades) and what wasn't (norad being run by a computer program with a name that sounds like Burger King's signature burger.)

The internet is a communication tool used the world over where people can come together to b*tch about movies and share p*rnogr*phy with one another.

The Internet is a series of tubes.

I worked in an office from 1994 to 2000, and even at the latter date floppy disks were still in use, along with CDs.
