The internet (yes, 'internet', not 'Internet')

Wired News unleashes a style change: they will no longer capitalize the words 'web', 'net', and 'internet'. I say it's about time.

But in the case of internet, web and net, a change in our house style was necessary to put into perspective what the internet is: another medium for delivering and receiving information. That it transformed human communication is beyond dispute. But no more so than moveable type did in its day. Or the radio. Or television.
