I think the internet is exactly what you make it.

If you are looking for activism, futurism, growth, maturity, innovation, you will find it. Look at what we have here.

If you are looking for childishness, censorship, racism, sameness, rampant consumerism, there is also a dearth of those things on the internet.

If you are looking for pictures of cats, you'll definitely be able to find them, along with many other cute creatures such as Sloths.

Maybe that is a somewhat childish way to look at it. Indeed, it probably is, but I think the internet is so large, so all-consuming that it is unclassifiable.
