"The wireless telegraph is not difficult to understand. The ordinary telegraph is like a very long cat. You pull the tail in New York, and it meows in Los Angeles. The wireless is the same, only without the cat." - Albert Einstein

LOL! I haven't heard that quote. I wonder what he would say about the internet (Algore's invention).

Here is my shot at an approximation of what Einstein's interpretation of the internet:

"The internet is not hard to understand. It is like everyone in the world simultaneously watching every movie ever made, all sitting side-by-side, all making remarks about what they are seeing, with hardly anyone ever saying, 'SHHHHHHHHH!!!!!'(Albert Einstein, perhaps) "
