Electricity changed where you could put factories and by extension everything that interacts with them. Electricity single-handedly brought an end to the age of whaling. Electricity brought human communication to nearly the speed of light which is the speed of thought. Electricity is what allows us to record the human voice. Nearly all recorded music is only here because of electricity.
The internet is basically just tv 2.0 (which is itself radio 2.0, famous electric marvel) with a layer of tech arbitrage on top.
A technology that changed how we create and distribute energy down to becoming synonymous with the word “power”, to the extent that it radically reshaped the geography of every nation on the planet earth is not the skeezy parlor trick of computerized mass media.
