THE BEGINNING:
As we all know, the Internet was invented in 1824 by James Alexander Internet (1782-1834). Originally his plan was to use it to send pictures of his young wife to his leering cronies. But when the Internet escaped from his lab in the middle of the night it was found by some urchins, who used it to create a vast de-centralised wealth of military data and resources. Soon the whole world was 'perusing' the world wide web! However, it wasn't long before a dark cloud appeared over the horizon. . .
ABUSE:
Perhaps the most famous scandal in the whole history of the Internet is that of the Evil Queen who used a search engine working through a 'mirror' to illegally slander Snow White, who was clearly the fairest of them all. It all ended in tears. The Evil Queen then went on to invent cheese that you squeeze out of a tube like it's toothpaste.
WIRES AND STUFF:
The world is made up of wires and stuff. Just scratch away the skin on your arm and look what's there. Wires! The Internet uses wires too, mainly for stuff. Yeah, I know, I'm getting a little bit too 'techy' for you? OK. Here's an analogy that works for everyone. Try to think of a man as a really big hairy grown-up baby. Kung-fu!
MAKING NEW FRIENDS:
We all like to make new friends, and the Internet makes this possible even if seeing a real person makes you want to kill again. Because it's really hard to kill people via the Internet, and they never give me their address. Or even their phone number. . . what? Oh, yes, sometimes people also use a cool hacker alias such as NEO, TRINITY, or BRIAN.
