The Internet is a proper noun and is always capitalized. You are using the Internet right now.

At Knox

The Internet is mainly accessed in student rooms or in computer labs, though some students use wi-fi and cell phones.

Wi-Fi

Many areas of the Knox campus get wi-fi that can only be accessed with Knox Internet credentials. Therefore, only students, faculty and staff can use it. If you have a Windows PC, you will have a much harder time figuring out how to get connected than Mac users.

File-sharing

File sharing servers used to be blocked by Knox Wi-Fi, but are no longer! Download super legal Doctor Who audio dramas to your heart's content! (but only those)

Ted Stevens

Ted Stevens, United States Senator from Alaska, said the Internet is "not a big truck" but "a series of tubes". <youtube v="f99PcP0aFNE"/>


After he said this, users made remix videos of his stupidity. <youtube v="EtOoQFa5ug8"/>

The Internet is for porn

It was commonly believed for much of the 90s and parts of the 21st century that the Internet was only for porn. Fairly successful off-Broadway musical "Avenue Q" had a song about it. <youtube v="QtiGd58J0bY"/>


David Wong's "The Great Internet Porn-Off"[1] discusses the realities behind a late 2004 United States Senate debate[2] about the addictiveness of Internet porn.
