I mean, I guess technically it's sort of new as far as media goes.

@theclosed well yeah i guess that's true but people have been using it since the '70s and it's not exactly "new" as in "something no one ever heard of before" i guess it depends on what you mean by "new"

Yeah, well, that's a good point, but at least for my generation, it was pretty much nonexistent when I was growing up, so it does seem kind of new to us, even though it's obviously not.

Well, yeah, but it is still relatively new compared to television or radio or paper, which are all obviously older than the Internet itself.

no it's not the internet is just a bunch of wires connected together, and there were always wires connected together so people could communicate over distances
