"Running the Internet" and other meaningless terms

I don't know why that phrase inspired me, but it did. I began imagining that 
this would be exactly the kind of phrase a person would utter in sentences from 
time to time when their brain is not engaged, as if the Internet has no 
existence independent of the computer.

To salesman: "Does this computer run the Internet"?
To tech support: "The internet stopped running, and I don't know why."
Student to teacher (brightly): "The internet is run using Internet Explorer."
