Internet: The living organism.

My internet access was down last night and I was thus unable to post here in daily continuity as I have been trying to do.  I could have simply written something on my computer for quick transfer once the internet came back online but I felt inclined to make a hasty exit to the comforts of sleep instead.  It was nice.  I should do it more often.

Thus, I have cause to think of the internet as something more fallible and organic than my typical view of it.  I know the "internet" is not any one thing in specific but it certainly is singularly relevant by its access. There is simply nothing else that really compares to it.  Yet, it can behave with a personality of its own.  Last night's experience illustrates a small portion of that idea.

I would like to write a story about it from its perspective sometime.  It could very easily be written from a deific perspective.  Or perhaps something closer to man's baser nature.  Or perhaps something just plain psychotic is more apt to describe it.  A highly evolutionary thing in any case.
