The success of the internet and how it works

The internet is made up of a series of networks which connects computer to computer that works with such things as data storage and servers. It also contains almost all the knowledge in the world; pretty tempting if you ask me. The internet, according to Christophe Bruno of Neural Magazine, was first intended to bring “a huge hope about sharing media, freedom of speech, breaking barriers between producer and consumer or between artist and audience”. This was until capitalism took the internet over and the web went from academia to a domain for total media control. Bruno describes this as the “Taylorisation of speech…in The Age of Access, where commodification of speech has appeared to daylight…the stake is to optimize this process of circulation of information, desire and advertising”. And through these methods is how you get reoccurring users. Furthermore, a reason the internet became and remains so successful is because of its’ users. Without us, it would be nothing.
