[Air-l] is Internet a '"source" or a "medium"? - ignorant's question

[James Whyte]

In my humble opinion!
   
  X is the sum of all "technologies" that make up the Internet
  X is a medium
  Y is the sum of all activities conducted using X
    Y is not X 
  Y is source
  Y has boundaries that begin at the edge of the human sensorium and is bounded by X
  Y is the sum of all domains that are socially derived and applied to the "use" of X
   
  For my usage: 
   
  X is the Internet - a medium
  Y is social space, cyberspace, net space, as you will - a "source" of information and derived meaning
   
  Both represent an ontological commitment with sanctioned inferences, as this thread suggests.
