What? Okay, let's forget for a moment the companies and the "implmenetation" of these functions. What I'm trying to say is that the "internet" as such is now a fundamental, essential, non-separable part of many of our lives. Companies run on slack/skype/JIRA, email, voip, businesses depend on the internet, webshopping is basically the default for millions, sports groups live on the internet (StarCraft, DotA), content creators live on the internet, citizen politics depends on the internet a lot of times in turbulent regimes (streaming rights violations). It's not just a "communications" thing anymore. And it's distributed our lives in both space and time.
