Ben Huh speaks about the Internet as a global trend that allows people to share what they have on their minds. Internet culture has a lot to do with computing - not only with purely scientific issues related to research but the same science viewed from a different angle. This angle is humor. People are very much in pursuit of happiness and as long as the Internet can deliver on that promise, it will remain an essential part of human culture.
Huh lays emphasis on thinking differently about the way we should treat our daily usage of computers and the Internet. People can exchange and find fellow thinkers even if the subject is just a funny picture of a cat. What is of great importance is that users from various parts of the world make a community to share their views. It totally changes the concept "Internet vs humanity".
