Now that Judy has gone back to school for one class -- criminal law at a local college-- ten years after finishing her MBA, we thought it was time for one of those "fill in the blank" questions that seem to be so popular on university exams. We were thinking -- what does the internet (or Internet, depending on the style guide) mean to you professionally?
Fill in the blank:
"The Internet is ________________________________."
We'd love to hear what you have to say, dear readers.

I know you asked what the Internet means to us professionally, but I am enough of a "Daily Show" watcher to complete "The Internet is" automatically with this great metaphor of the late Ted Stevens (see Wikipedia article).

Oh my. Isn't that a verbal Rorschach test?
How about "The Internet is a battleground of opportunity and confusion"?
The internet is my home, my office and my school.
Indispensable, Irrepressible and Irreversible!
@Sheila: that's a great one! :) Thanks for commenting.
Hi Dagmar and Judy (in alphabetical order),
Off topic: I have recently discovered your blog, so I am catching up with the reading and commenting.
On topic: The Internet is one of the greatest inventions of all times. It helps me professionally (learning new things and doing my job) and personally (making new friends and keeping in touch with the old ones - actually, they are young, but that's not the point).
You've got a very nice blog, keep up the good work!
my world, my career, almost everything
The internet is a feast of information! Quite a tasty one too if I say so myself.
For us, translators, it is like the air we breathe... isn´t it? It is difficult to imagine working as translators without it... It makes all united... there are no boundaries, no frontiers...
an amazingly complex international super interstate, with many useful destinations and even more useless routes. As on the road, the driver must be aware to navigate succintly and successfully.
