Well complex brains didn't come about just because there was enough nerve tissue in the skull. They were the result of evolutionary pressure over millions of years. Compare that to the internet, which doesn't really have pressure to become self-aware or self-preserving and is, essentially, just a blob of nerve tissue. I think it's currently more comparable to a slime mold, with a self-organizing structure and no real intelligence.
