If you take a McLuhanistic perspective on the internet, then the internet is the nervous system of the human world. It's a medium through which information flows at unprecedented speeds (with major consequences worldwide). The nervous system is still new, and with new nervous system growth come weird sensations (pain, tingles, false alarms, weird flashes of joy). It needs to adapt for a few more centuries. Most of the things said on the internet are shared to be forgotten seconds later; Information has a half-life. And in a fast medium? That half life can be seconds or minutes. It doesn't matter too much.
