I just wanted to get your opinion on the topic. Some ppl say that the internet is a living "super-organism" and that a dialectical relationship exists between us and the internet. Would you agree or disagree..why or why not?

Uh, the no option doesn't seem too suitable. Anyway, the internet is just our own invention and a tool to pass information on. There's nothing about the internet that's actually alive and can think of its own, it's just an advanced tool we use to suit our needs.

Its a non living network that is used to pass information. It is not sentient. It is not a living organism.

The internet's not even in a fetus stage yet, just give it 40 years and see how far it gets. They haven't even implimented an antibody system yet. Right now it's just a means of communication and one of our inventions, given time and further development it could become more of a "living" organism.

I don't care if the internet is alive. All I use it for is games, porn, comics, and Zelaron, anyway.

Abd not everyone can be blessed with proper grammar. Or an internal spellcheck when there is a lack of an external one. Then again, it helps to read everything you write. Which I myself rarely do anyway, or at least until I've already posted.
