What Is The Internet?

The internet is all around us. It’s an invisible being and non-human but can act like one if you tell it to. It's a supercomputer comprised of an infinite of networks that can connect us to anything you ask for. The internet is now becoming a day-to-day drug. It’s used every day to fulfill the need to gather or send information.

I love the internet. It’s has everything we need and want, but at what cost. This invisible being has allowed us, humans, to post, share, and learn everything we can possibly ask for, but at what cost. At some point, when will the internet stop growing, probably never. This growth is what scares me, the possibility of it growing too much and turning into something that's, not on my phone or laptop.
