A world wide network of computers all linked together over the TCP/IP protocol. The Internet allows people to communicate in real time from different continents. Someone in South America can have an online chat with someone in Russia.

All manner of news and information can be accessed through search engines such as Google. All the major news outlets have websites that have free or subscription access to news.

You usually use the Internet via the World Wide Web. You use a Web browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox to look things up.

The Internet is not without its problems. Viruses and spyware abound and can major mess up your computer if it becomes infested with them. You need a firewall and antivirus program for safety.
I can look up stuff on the Internet using Google.

A place where Bill Gates said would never work. Yet here we are, whoring ourselves to the Internet and MSN Instant Messenger.

Yes, the Internet does own you.
My best friend had the Internet. He said it was cool, until I found his storage of gay porn. I asked him where he got it, he said something called the "Internet"?

Oh my god, MY COUNTERSTRIKE ACCOUNT HAS BEEN DELETED!!! Oh I forgot, the Internet hacked it. Well, off I go to the Microsoft support website.

It's too late. You can no longer turn back. You logged on to the Internet and now you're trapped here with us.

Get the Internet mug.
A large, unregulated mass of extremely diverse content, consisting primarily of pornography, gaming websites, livejournal accounts, and those fucking annoying popup messages that won't go away on angelfire websites. In addition, the internet also plays host to several bizzare subcultures, including, but not limited to, goths, furries, otherkin, linux nerds, and conspiracy theory nutballs who all like to design their sites on the exact same formats as one another.
The Internet destroyed my faith in humanity.

The Internet is wasting way too much bandwith on crappy geocities sites.

The Internet will soon replace libraries.
