: "Is the internet conscious?" The thought also crossed my mind, but more
as a : science fiction plot. No the internet is not conscious - it is an
indirect : reflection of the human consciousness. : But when used to
communicate meaningful ideas the internet can cause a change : in human
consciousness. As with any forum for the exchange of ideas, the :
internet can be a place to grow and learn. But until conscious computers
are : developed the internet will remain only a reflection of
consciousness. : Please Note: I am using the standard definition of
consciousness here : (you know - the one that says inanimate objects are
not conscious.)

In twenty-five words or less, I'd say that the internet is a
vehicle of for consciousnesses.
