The Internet no more

Interesting piece of news. According to this article, the ‘Internet’ will no longer need to be spelt in this manner:

For years, I’d been capitalising ‘Internet’ and the ‘Web’ because it always felt appropriate to do so. Techno jargon always seems so cool when capitalised.

Now with the net nearly synonymous with the personal computer, which in turn is as pervasive in the household as the television, the change in spelling is the milestole of a change in times where higher technology has become a lifestyle.
