I can tell you what it is! It's a series of tubes!
Seriously, I'm curious to know what every one else thinks it is.

Any other questions are plenty welcome. I want to know if you think the internet is smart, too.

No the actual definition of the internet is the infrastructure.
The interconnection of thousands, if not millions, of web servers and directors.
From your computer to your ISP to a DNS server where you are then directed to the web host server of the website.

Answer the other question, is the internet smart?

Al gore had a hand in its becoming global, it was originally developed by a few scientists who wanted an easier way to share test data without clutter.

When dealing in a place like this, you can never be to sure what you'll get.

Just to get you to stop gabbing on about it, its gone.

You know "A series of tubes" is a popular saying when you see it as an achievment in Gears of War.
