Editing Internets (section)

==Other use of "internets"==
In general, an ''internet'' (uncapitalized) results from the connection ([[internetwork]]ing) of at least two computer networks by establishing a gateway (router) between them. It is proper to pluralize this term. For example, RFC 1918 refers to "''Address Allocation for [[private network|Private Internets]]''". However, since the establishment of the [[Internet]], this usage has been less common.

A much lesser-known recorded use of "internets" actually preceded Bush's use in the October 17, 2000 debate with Al Gore by about eight months. It appeared in a sketch of the comedy show [[Upright Citizens Brigade|Upright Citizen's Brigade]] in the episode entitled "Music", which was aired February 7, 2000.<ref>Upright Citizen's Brigade - "Music" (Season 3, Episode 4) on IMDb: {{cite web |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0737971/ |title="Upright Citizens Brigade" Music (TV episode 2000) - IMDb |publisher=IMDb}}</ref>  In the sketch, the host of a country-western music TV show tells a guest from New York City that "[t]here's a whole lot of things you can't learn in your fancy books and internets."

In 2010, in a ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' interview, author [[Ray Bradbury]] (author of ''[[Fahrenheit 451]]''), who was distrustful of modern technology, said "We have too many cellphones. We've got too many Internets."<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.thewire.com/entertainment/2010/08/ray-bradbury-we-ve-got-too-many-internets/19117/| title=Ray Bradbury: "We've Got Too Many Internets"| date=2010-08-17| access-date=2016-08-30| archive-date=2016-09-14| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160914232153/http://www.thewire.com/entertainment/2010/08/ray-bradbury-we-ve-got-too-many-internets/19117/| url-status=dead}}</ref>

The similar but less subtle term "[[:wikt:interweb|interweb]]" has likewise been humorously pluralised – hence "[[:wikt:interwebs|interwebs]]" and "[[:wikt:interwebz|interwebz]]".
