I agree with the sentiment, but I would add that the internet was meant primarily for shit talking. Really, some of the first use cases were people just sending shitty messages to each other. Let's focus on the original mission I say.

Of you go further into the past, the internet was meant as a military communication channel that could not be disturbed in a single point of failure. The civil usage came later.

And for communication between researchers in universities across the oceans.
