Necessity is the mother of invention.
As a mid aged person who saw internet since AOL 2.0 with dialup to this new thing called "high speed" I'm glad the internet is here. Everything from chatting, email, IM, message boards, Youtubes, filesharing, jpgs, webpages, web2.0 mobile computing, google.

First of all, awesome game.
Second, happy early b-day internet! I love you and have enjoyed the days we've spent together, bringing in knowledge and weird facts that I shouldn't know at this age. Your the best
Geez, I wouldn't have though so in 1999, but in 2009, the internet really shows it's roots as a defense project, since those defense/spy/spook types always wanted a way to spy on everybody, all the time, regardless of any wrong-doing. Now we socialize and post all of our personal info on Facebook so that the IRS/FBI/CIA/DIA/DEA/DOJ/SBI can mine through it for whatever purpose they want.

I'd say that was the World Wide Web? its different to the Internet. the internet was the useful infrastructure.
the World Wide Web just helped advertising and n00bs go online and destroy it for the rest of us (online shopping's cool tho).
