i got always manage to mess up this game! i reached the modern age in the 1700s, discovered computers whilst still using knights on horseback and being killed by barbarians... and they had rock 'n roll. imagine that. knights surfing the web on horseback being attacked by savages listening to Elvis Presley in the 1700s.
@theshoeburger Schizo Tech right there. Infact some sci-fi writer was inspired by having two civs of biwelderingly different developement levels meet in his Civ 1 games and wrote a book about a similar concept.
Do you think the Internet is a little overpowered, especially when you are behind?
LOL @ "Masturbatory aid"... no comment.
@Gannonsbeautifulface The Internet isn't a waste to build, when you are playing on Monarch or higher, and you managed to go thus far, and you're far behind, the Internet will save your ass...
The Internet: One of mankind's greatest achievements, the gateway to a new age of information and technology, a beacon of education and self-expression, and its ultimate purpose is for talking cats and masturbatory aid.
I concur, old bean! Searches for certain scraps of information that would've normally taken hours or even days can be accessed in only less than a minute! People should really use the power of the meme to spread new ideas like solar power, conservation, philosophy and spirituality, not the same, stupid, worn-out lulz crap that's constantly repeated by socially cruel, unrefined brain-twats.
Just so you know, the awesomeness of this wonder is extreme, it it extrmely important, so important in fact, that you are probably even using it right now.
He didn't invent it i think. He was a huge promoter of it and may even be a large factor in getting the Internet established. The technology for the Internet is credited to numerous scholars and scientists, Al Gore may have been one of them. The physicists claim to have create it, they apparently have been using the tech to share research and info long before the World Wide Web was established.
I believe the internet was developed in its most primitive stages by the U.S. military or for the military. Al Gore as a senator introduced a bill that pushed for infrastructure additions that allow widespread use of the internet. It's like if telephones were invented and no one had land lines to hook their phones up to. The Gore Bill made sure people could access the internet.
Giving you each tech that two other civs have researched. But as it comes as a project not a wonder, does this benefit to all nations or only to the one who finishes The Internet?
In a faraway nation, they created the Internet. Two turns later, they created the Rickroll, more powerful than the Atomic Bomb and can even wipe out the mountains and trees.
@Idude893 After the other nations defeated the rick roller, a terrorist group known by the name of Haxors fired their lazors. The planet died instantly.
@Idude893 1 year after the Rickroll, canada creates the ultimate weapon. The weapon is known as Justin Bieber. People who have no idea of what this man is capable or people who want people to die shall support him!
I think the Internet is probably the best and the worst invention ever created. The best, for obvious reasons: e.g. free exchange of information. The worst, because of the problems that go with it. How many billions of dollars are lost every year through viruses and computer 'errors'? Worse still, we have become completely incapable of functioning WITHOUT the Internet. I don't even use a proper map anymore, I just go on Google. If the Internet disappeared tomorrow, a lot of us would be screwed.
Since I'm a "90's kid" I didn't have a computer most of my childhood so I always get a feeling of weekness when I go to do something on it. Sorta like - I can't believe this, I'm sure I could've handled without it before... but I want the easy way. XD
Where exactly IS the Internet? is it actually attached to the computers themselves, or did we build on top of something that was already there? like the radio waves or the magnetic field? is it another demention, or could one theoreticlly walk around in cyberspace? i want to know!!!
True, the internet was originally designed so that in case of nuclear war, we could still communicate.... now the world is completely permanently interconnected forever lol
The internet is truly a wonder if you think about it.
Information superhighway... In the future people will realize the real importance of the network... it will probably outrun the phone as a communication system and the t.v as a cultural and informational tool and books as educational resources.

Well, the person contributing most to this, is Bill Gates, without him, most of the computer market (both publical and military) would not even exist, and the internet would not have enough reason to even exist.
I never actually use the internet project in Civ 4. I Tech-rocket fast enough that I'm too far ahead to get new techs from it. I just build it so my rivals don't get its benefits.
