Abstract
Abstract The Internet is a global network of interconnected intelligent hardware and software systems that makes possible the digitized storage, retrieval, circulation, and processing of information and communication across time and space. From a sociological perspective, the Internet is not synonymous with a global information machine, as portrayed in some popular accounts. A sociological account of the Internet encompasses the constituent Internet technologies and attends to these as social phenomena. It also includes information and other content that is produced, transmitted, and received by individuals, organizations, and smart devices using the Internet. Finally, a sociological account includes the socially and historically structured contexts and processes in which the production, transmission, and reception of information and communication are embedded.
