The Internet is a communication medium that allows for the first time, the communication of many to many, in chosen time, on a global scale.

The Internet is no longer an agglomeration of isolated and independent websites, albeit connected and networked, but is to be considered as the whole of the technological capabilities achieved by mankind in the field of disseminating and sharing information and knowledge.

the Internet is the technological basis for the organizational form of the Information Age: the network.

The Internet enables eight billion monopolies.

What, exactly, is the Internet? Basically it is a global network exchanging digitized data in such a way that any computer, anywhere, that is equipped with a device called a "modem" can make a noise like a duck choking on a kazoo.

The Internet is not a virtual world inhabited by avatars. It is a means of communication that offers people in the physical world a method to organize, act, and promote ideas and awareness.

Unlike television — at least as it currently exists — the Internet is a medium of choice.

The Internet is the modern form of knitting. In the old days women who had nothing to do would knit, but at least you got something out of it — a pair of socks, maybe a scarf, occasionally a little bedspread. That’s mostly what the Internet is, just passing the time. But unfortunately you are dealing with words that can have meaning.

The internet itself is just a modern technology originally invented for US military information network. Yes, we cannot live without it anymore, It does amplify people's dark emotions, but if you can have a good happy real life with friends and family, you can realise there is just nothingness in the internet. There aren’t two worlds really, we should just use it as a useful tool.

The Internet is, above all else, a cultural creation.

The Internet is indeed a technology of freedom - but it can free the powerful to oppress the uninformed, it may lead to the exclusion of the devalued by the conquerors of value. In this general sense, society has not changed much.

Despite the Internet's origin in the late 1960s as a government sponsored means of communication between the Department of Defense, private industry, and academia, it has been at its best — and generated the greatest economic, social, and technological benefits — since it was 'liberated' by the hordes of 'geeks' who were originally hired to run it by employers who were not themselves conversant with computers, and couldn't tell when their employees were exchanging official traffic or trading dirty jokes and recipes for marijuana brownies.

They didn't put a scarlet letter on her chest, but they didn't need to. That's what the Internet is for.

The Internet is a medium only at the bit level. At the human level, it is a conversation that, because of the persistence and linkedness of pages, has elements of a world. It could only be a medium if we absolutely didn't care about it.
