As I understand it, the original impetus was to develop a communication system that was resilient in the case of a nuclear attack.

The Internet in just two words:

  • Cats & porn

The Internet in just one word:

  • Pussy

(not originally from me, but I like it)

Much like life, it is for whatever you make of it.

The computer should only be for education, high morals, and bettering our humanity. Not for pornography and not for exploiting women.

Yes.

...it depends on whom you ask, I think. For me it's for info/data exchange, wasting time, contacting people, shitposting. Roughly in this order of relevance.

Pictures of toes

[-] Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

The Internet is a communication tool used the world over where people can come together to bitch about movies and share pornography with one another.

Or, at least it was. Now it's mostly a mall and organ harvesting operation.

Originally, to make the neurodivergent people of the world feel less alone. But then neurotypicals decided to monetise it and make it and use it for social engineering and data collection, so now we have nowhere again.
