Is the Internet conscious?

[Rake]

Well is it?. Here was my train of thought. I was thinking about how the way we think has changed since the introduction of the internet. Rather than trying to figure out things for ourselves generally speaking now people will say 'google it'. Just an example of going from a mentality of looking up an answer as opposed to trying to remember it or figure it out.

Then I thought about all the knowledge that lies here on the internet and how others like myself have learned so much from it as a wealth of information ( not all so knowledgeable ). Which lead me to wonder is the internet a technological manifestation of our collective consciousness. As more and more things become digital it is a humongous reflection of the collective's thoughts and idea's.

So what do you think? is the Internet conscious? is it our collective conscious?
