Internet

The Internet (or Net) was the term for the early global computer and communications network on Earth in the 20th and 21st centuries. Its development, along with other advanced technology such as laptops and barcode readers, was due to the work of Chronowerx Industries and Henry Starling. () 
The Internet had several images available to users, but many of them were memes. ()
By the 2020s, the Interface became the primary public means of accessing the Net. A number of channels, such as Channel 90, posted information through the Net. To access the Net, a person had to log on with a specific access number.
Some agencies, such as Sanctuary Districts, did not post their records over the Net. In 2024, during the Bell Riots, a group of residents of Sanctuary District A, led by Benjamin Sisko in the guise of Gabriel Bell, were able to access Channel 90 on the Net and present their stories. This changed public opinion and led to the abolition of sanctuary districts. ()
By 2022, dial-up was an outdated way to access the Internet, but some still used it. ()
In 2022, when La'an Noonien-Singh and an alternate James T. Kirk had travelled to Toronto on Earth, Sera, a Romulan agent masquerading as a contemporary Human claimed to be using her cellular phone to live stream video of Kirk's arrest by Toronto City Police officers to the Internet. This persuaded the officers to release him. Shortly afterward, Kirk displayed unfamiliarity with the concept of Internet memes. Later on, an employee of an store showed Kirk how to access the DuckDuckGo Internet search engine, allowing him and La'an to locate The Archeology Department store in Vermont and its proprietor, Pelia.
