Comment on Ask HN: How do you conceptualize the internet?

Comments

I think that seeing it as a physical place helps conceptualize a virtual world.

I'm neither a programmer or a developer.

When I go online, it's like I'm out on the street. I'm exposed to others. I can interact with others. I can walk into a shop or a bank and conduct business. I can walk into a theater or an arcade. I can walk into someone's place, an open house or a private house. But it's not physical, it's all virtual, it's all built with code, data and information.
