    The Internet in just two words:

    • Cats & porn

    The Internet in just one word:

    • Pussy

    (not originally from me, but I like it)

    As with most things, musical theater has the answer.

    As I understand it, the original impetus was to develop a communication system that was resilient in the case of a nuclear attack.

    Yes.

    …it depends on whom you ask, I think. For me it’s for info/data exchange, wasting time, contacting people, shitposting. Roughly in this order of relevance.

    The Internet is a communication tool used the world over where people can come together to bitch about movies and share pornography with one another.

    Or, at least it was. Now it’s mostly a mall and organ harvesting operation.

    The computer should only be for education, high morals, and bettering our humanity. Not for pornography and not for exploiting women.
