The
Internet
is more than a single
organism
, though; it acts more like a cooperative
neural network
. When I link my computer to my network, my computer gets access to more
information
than it had previously. When I link my network to your network, my network (and each individual computer thereon) gets more access to
information
than it had before. The
super-organism
known as the
Internet
is very smart, though... it has a bunch of
symbionts
taking care of it, making certain its nervous system stays intact (eventually through the movement of
small pieces of paper printed with obscure patterns
, which has become easy to facilitate through the movement of data carried on the
Internet
itself). The
humans
are in a
symbiotic
relationship to the
Internet
-- the
Internet
carries the data, and the
humans
take care of it. (And isn't it amazing how much of the
traffic
on the
Internet
's
nervous system
regards taking care of the
Internet
?)
