Internet Defined By My Marketing Textbook

It’s interesting to read the definition of the internet. At the same time, I find it useful because I am sure that if I had to explain it to someone, I wouldn’t do as good of a job.

A vast public web of computer networks that connects users of all types all around the world to each other and to an amazingly large information repository.

Amazingly? Really?

Followed by the definition were a few stats that I am sure are inaccurate today. The book, however, was published not too long ago.

“…Internet users worldwide now stands at more than 1.4 billion, 58 percent of American adults check their e-mail, 49 percent Google, 19 percent use Facebook or Linked In and 16 percent use sites like YouTube.”

Are you ready for the best part?

“And by 2020, many experts believe, the Internet will be accessed primarily via a mobile device operated by voice, touch, and even though or “mind-controlled human-computer interaction.”

Um. Okay.
