Hello - Are you referring to the World Wide Web? That is but one internet protocol, and a relative newcomer, at that. The internet is older than 25. This isn't just a pedantic statement, but an important point, as all sorts of incredibly interesting/important/weird stuff was going on all over the place on the internet that mustn't be erased by conflating one with the other. --Sarah --- S a r a h T.

CFP for a themed issue of NTIK: Researching Internet Content
http://www.ntik.dk/Call%20for%20papers%20-%20HRC.pdf
The Internet has recently celebrated it’s 25th anniversary and as Gartner’s hype cycle on emerging technology shows the Internet has already give rise to new, emerging as well as established technologies, platforms, ways of interacting and creating content.
In the humanities we traditionally study cultural content in it’s many different shapes and forms from letters and literature, to paintings and pottery. However, 25 years with the Internet has thoroughly affected the amount, shape, creation of and way we interact with the cultural content found on the Internet. This in turn has influenced the theories as well as the methods with which we can study cultural content. The field of Digital Humanities has built itself around the idea of using digital methods to study more traditional material such as handwritten or analogue documents. However, in recent years there has been a growing focus on the study of born-digital material, using both newly developed digital methods as well as more traditional methods.
This issue will include research papers that deal with methods, possibilities, challenges and in particular ethical considerations in relation to humanities research into Internet content.
This includes, but is not limited to the study of: fanwork and it’s creators DIY culture and how-tos amateur forums social networks blogs and bloggers
