series of tubes

A phrase used by US senator Ted Stevens in 2006 to describe the workings of
|
||
|
|
the internet. "It's a series of tubes!", "The internet is not a big truck"
|
||
|
|
and "what happens to your own personal internet?" soon became viral phrases.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This rambling and highly incoherent speech about the internet - difficult
|
||
|
|
to really tell whether it was for or against net neutrality - is a classic
|
||
|
|
example of a suit who doesn't really understand the technology nevertheless
|
||
|
|
attempting to appear authoritative.
