Internet : Human Network

What is the Internet?

The technical definition of the internet is that it is a collection of interconnected computer networks that transmit data. Source

However, the internet can also be described as a network of people. The internet has become more people-centric. It is ingrained in our everyday lives. We email coworkers, friends, and loved ones. Our lives are captured by digital cameras and shared online. We read blogs for their personalities and unique take on the world. Even dry data like bank balances and weather forecasts have become ways to accentuate and improve your daily life. Sure it's an interconnected set of computers following simple machine instructions, but the driving force behind it all is people connecting with other people. Source

The world is becoming smaller, day by day.
