internet

A gargantuan system of connected computers forming a network that spans the entire planet, witch is why it is also called the world wide web.
Or simply the thing on the screen you are reading this from.
The internet (atleast the one we know about) is entirely populated by humans (maybe),this is a very good excuse as to its state,after all humans are not the most organized bunch.It is possible to find anything and i mean anything here,including things that greatly cripple our world view and how you perceive your fellow earthlings because unhindered communication reaches the depths of the subconscious.(it is a good idea to leave your right/wrong distinguishing module off as it does not apply evenly with all individuals of Homo sapiens).
Modern human-This place has everything,including virtual AIDS that wrecks your computer.
time traveling wizard-Wow we didn't really change haven't we.

internets

A term originally used to mock Bush, but has degraded into a word hipsters use in an attempt to make themselves sound cooler. People who use the word are the peope who also use teh and le because quite simply they saw everyone else doing it.

This also goes for teh internets, the typed form of the word in which the is intentionally mistyped, so they can make themselves look like the largest douchebags possible.

Internet

According to Wikipedia, Al Gore said: I'll be offering my vision when my campaign begins. And it will be comprehensive and sweeping. And I hope that it will be compelling enough to draw people toward it. I feel that it will be. But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I've traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system. 96

In Manchester, New Hampshire campaigning for President of the United States in 1999

UCLA professor of information studies Philip E. Agre and journalist Eric Boehlert argued that three articles in Wired News led to the creation of the widely spread urban legend that Gore claimed to have "invented the Internet," which followed this interview.979899 In addition, computer professionals and congressional colleagues argued in his defense. Internet pioneers Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn stated that "we don't think, as some people have argued, that Gore intended to claim he 'invented' the Internet. Moreover, there is no question in our minds that while serving as Senator, Gore's initiatives had a significant and beneficial effect on the still-evolving Internet."10098 Cerf would also later state: "Al Gore had seen what happened with the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act of 1956, which his father introduced as a military bill. It was very powerful. Housing went up, suburban boom happened, everybody became mobile. Al was attuned to the power of networking much more than any of his elective colleagues. His initiatives led directly to the commercialization of the Internet. So he really does deserve credit."101 Former Republican Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Newt Gingrich also stated: "In all fairness, it's something Gore had worked on a long time. Gore is not the Father of the Internet, but in all fairness, Gore is the person who, in the Congress, most systematically worked to make sure that we got to an Internet, and the truth is -- and I worked with him starting in 1978 when I got to Congress, we were both part of a "futures group" -- the fact is, in the Clinton administration, the world we had talked about in the '80s began to actually happen."102 Finally, Wolf Blitzer (who conducted the original 1999 interview) stated in 2008 that: "I didn't ask him about the Internet. I asked him about the differences he had with Bill Bradley ... Honestly, at the time, when he said it, it didn't dawn on me that this was going to have the impact that it wound up having, because it was distorted to a certain degree and people said they took what he said, which was a carefully phrased comment about taking the initiative and creating the Internet to -- I invented the Internet. And that was the sort of shorthand, the way his enemies projected it and it wound up being a devastating setback to him and it hurt him, as I'm sure he acknowledges to this very day."103
The GOP invented the claim that Al Gore claimed to have invented the Internet.

The Internet

While the internet may be amazing a cool, it’s also full of disturbing viral videos, disgraceful pornography, pedophiles, perverts, sluts, highly-addictive online games that destroy people’s social lives, misleading information and cyber-bullying.

This isn’t a joke. Take my advice and use the internet wisely.
