Explanation

The Internet is a worldwide network connecting millions of computers, and social media helps it spread entertainment and popular culture. It also supports global commerce, increasing the production and sale of goods around the world. The Internet grew out of military-funded research and later expanded to civilian and consumer use. It is not a closed system with limited access, and consumer use became widespread mainly in the 1990s, so those statements are inaccurate.
