The Internet in just two words:

I didn't even have to click the link, but I did!
As I understand it, the original impetus was to develop a communication system that was resilient in the case of a nuclear attack.
Now we just use it for sharing pictures of cats and boobs

Yes.
...it depends on whom you ask, I think. For me it's for info/data exchange, wasting time, contacting people, shitposting. Roughly in this order of relevance.
the new frontier to be colonised
Ponies, lots and lots of them. Specifically the ones designed by Lauren Faust.

The Internet is a communication tool used the world over where people can come together to bitch about movies and share pornography with one another.
Or, at least it was. Now it's mostly a mall and organ harvesting operation.
The computer should only be for education, high morals, and bettering our humanity. Not for pornography and not for exploiting women.
Inspired by DARPA, popularized by porn.
