The Internet is definitely the most revolutionizing of all computing aspects I can think of.

[Diggsey]

1) The ability to create things that you can interact with (instead of just static images or models)

2) The ability to do things that aren't possible in this world

3) Being the only person you know (not counting the internet) who can do it

4) The feeling you get when you solve a bug you previously thought unsolvable
