Internet
From Encyclopedia Of Stupid
The Internet is stupid.
It's also serious business.
The Internet was invented by politician Al Gore so that Americans could have instant access to free porn, illegal music, and so that creepy perverts could seduce each other in chatrooms. The underlying systems that allowed Al to magically give birth to his Internet in 1984 were originally created sometime before 1975 by American telephone company AT&T which was looking for a use for the computer operating system it had built, Unix. The concept of computers communicating with each other, like the concept of the mouse, was extremely arcane at this time, and most people ignored the early Internet. Early adopters were all bearded Berkeley types who couldn't get girlfriends. Their social ineptitude meant that they passed away their spare time delving deep into the inner workings of computers and how to get them to talk to each other, with the ultimate goal of passing around pornography with greater efficiency.
Eventually someone noticed that a bunch of computers were talking to each other but that it was all very stupid, having been built by the bearded Berkeley types, and thus was Netscape born. Netscape facilitated the use of the World Wide Web, which had existed since 1984 but had languished because the nerds were all too fascinated with Archie and Gopher to bother with it. Soon after Netscape was born, Amazon.com was created and everyone started buying things on the Internet, thereby making it a commercial endeavor and ruining the lives of anyone with a .edu in their email address.
Since the World Wide Web is the easiest part of the Internet to use, all other parts have died off, and the word Internet is now synonymous with World Wide Web. All message boards now reside on the World Wide Web, and posting to them is the most important thing that you can do, especially if you are an internet whore. This is why the Internet is serious business. You had best be careful. You can insult somebody and they can sue you, buddy.
Do not confuse the Internet with internets.
