I'm 37 and the internet has changed the world the most dramatically in my lifetime. I had a modem before the internet was really accessible, then the internet meant email and only geeks had email addresses. Then within a very short time everyone has email addresses and everyone is on the internet.

well the easy answer is it works with telephone lines. That and it's magic.

EDIT: A lot of people don't realise the world wide web was like an addon to the internet, that at first was considered a bit gimmicky and not really worth it as speeds were so slow that having pictures on web pages wasn't worth it. Before that we had news groups - just like forums really.

Yours is only the second response to reference that. OT failed this one.

EDIT: Okay, third, but still.

You know how it works?

IT'S A TRAP!

Wow, I was stunned to hear that perfect explanation of what the Internet is. Bravo Ted Stephens for making us more knowledgeable about the Internet.

Oddly enough, that isn't actually that bad a metaphor, at least to illustrate concepts like bandwidth and such like, although his saying that he "got an internet delivered" makes it rather likely that he had no idea he was giving a remotely accurate description. :P

Its a tiny black box kept in the tower of london. (The IT crowd is a UK comedy. It is a reference to that.)impl0sion

I think the same way about stuff. Like, how the hell does wifi work? How is tons of videos, images, and games get transfered through the air? I mean, what the ****, how could anyone be that smart to figure that stuff out?DooDooPeePee

What a waste of perfectly good 5% that could be used for pornography.
