It's A Small Net After All	comment	Even though the Internet has technically (kinda, sorta) existed since the 1960s, not everyone foresaw the impact it would have. And writers still seem to have trouble getting their heads around it. One result is that it is totally absent from many shows set 20 Minutes into the Future. Another is that TV shows never seem to really grasp just how big the Internet is. One example of this is that Google (or more likely Bing, or Finder-Spyder) comes off as an Omniscient Database: on the first try with a search engine, you will either get all the relevant documents and no irrelevant ones, or you will get a canonical response that the thing you're looking for does not exist on the Internet. Never has someone typed something in and gotten ten billion mostly irrelevant hits (well, almost never — see examples). And one false click never buries you in a quicksand pit of porn popups. Another is that there is exactly one instant messaging service. And everyone is a subscriber. And everyone knows everyone else's handle. You can message anyone you want at any time without having to sign up for a new service or even search for their screen name. And speaking of screen names, everyone gets something short, pithy, relevant, and unique. No one is ever "JAnderson789" or "buffyfan2001". Even if you want a short, really hip handle, it will be available as if it were reserved for you. And no one names themselves after characters from other TV shows. Also, everyone has exactly one online identity, which is their email address, instant messaging handle, their handle on every bulletin board, the underground identity by which they're known in the illegal hacking community, and the name they use on Usenet (caveat: Usenet never actually exists on TV, except for alt.nerd.obsessive. Or alt.conspiracy.black.helicopters). You'll never run into someone who uses the same handle as you on a different service (There is, after all, only the one service. In TV Land, AOL is, as they claim, the Internet). Email addresses rarely include a domain name. Compare Acquainted in Real Life, a "small net" may be the reason these two people find each other again online. The inversion is Unfortunate Search Results, when a person tries to search for something on the Internet only to come up with... something different.

It's A Small Net After All / int_109f7814	comment	The show Sherlock has a fictional tie-in blog by John Watson. Its entries never get more than a two-digit number of comments, despite the fact that the blog is supposedly popular enough to bring in new clients, and attract internet trolls during the time Sherlock's reputation is tarnished. One episode does point out that the counter is stuck, so it's possible the site is buggy.

It's A Small Net After All / int_122bfae1	comment	Midori Days has, in one chapter, Seiji trying to learn how to use the internet with Midori's help. So they try a search engine. Seiji tries looking for porn right away. Later, Midori decides to look up her own name and is surprised when she finds a search result. Try Googling your first name. You'll find a result, almost guaranteed. Though it does become justified in their surprise when that website is dedicated to the actual Midori. In fact there were a huge amount of hits, which makes sense since "midori" is Japanese for "green" and she says as much, they only clicked that one because it said net idol Midori.

In another episode, Gus recognizes a missing poker player's screen name from an online poker site because he, too, plays online poker. Apparently, there is only one online poker site in existence, and it's small enough that someone would recognize the name of another random player. In another episode, Gus Googles the name of a park and gets zero results. Shawn suggests he adds "ing", and they get info on a parking lot with that name.

Everyone watching probably knew that anyone searching for chicks on Google probably... wouldn't find baby chickens on the first page, let alone the first slot. Made even more hilarious by the fact the site they go to is called chicks.net, a giant website all about baby chicks. And that's not even getting into the numbers of hits and comments (none of which seem to be "OMG U SUXORZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" or requests to put shoes on their head) their webcast gets.

Immediately they found several websites dedicated to the myth, but there's no mention of any other sites. However, closer inspection makes it clear that Saten doesn't just google the term, but writes in on the search bar of some web forum focusing on urban legends and conspiracy theories. Those would be less likely to show outright porn on the subject matter.

When she types "Iriomote cat", one of the very first matches is a news article about an Iriomote mountain cat that died after getting run over by a car, which happens to be plot-relevant, as the cat seems to be the mother of an Iriomote kitten she met earlier. But the Iriomote cat is a highly-endangered and protected species in Japan, with a wild population of under 100, so a news item about such a rare animal being killed by a car would likely rank highly in most search engines as a leading news story.

It's A Small Net After All / int_79776c32	comment	Final Destination: In Final Destination 2, a character uses a generic search engine to search for "Flight 180", the doomed flight from the first film and instantly finds what he's looking for. A bit justified, as it is established in the movie that the events of the first movie are well known in the movie world, though usually dismissed as an urban legend. A scene where a character finds directions to an insane asylum with a Google maps stand-in without typing in her location might appear egregious unless the location is all cookied up. First hit on Google for "Flight 180" is a link to the Final Destination Wiki, so even in the real world, it works. In Final Destination 3, one of the characters says he did some searching on the Internet. The search isn't actually shown, probably due to the fact that the character wasn't actually looking up Flight 180, but rather "premonitions." It actually wouldn't be very surprising, given that the events of the first movie are so well known in the world of Final Destination, if there was a Wikipedia article on it, which Google would place up the top of a "Flight 180" search.

It's A Small Net After All / int_79a5c5e0	comment	The first example is subverted in Twilight, where Bella mentions that she had to go through pages and pages of search results for vampire-related books and movies before finding any actual lore on vampires. Ironically, this is going too far in the other direction; a simple Google search shows that the first page of results has plenty of links to information on vampire mythology (including, most obviously, the Wikipedia page in the first result). Reasoning with Vampires, of course, had fun with this. Then played straight when she's easily able to find information on human/vampire hybrids, which you'd think would just get her a bunch of Spuffy fic.

Protagonist Moriko gets into a new MMORPG, befriends a healer named Lily, and ends up joining her guild. Not only do both Lily and guild leader Kanbe's players live in the same city, but they've met in person without realizing it: Kanbe's player is the college student who works part-time at Moriko's favorite convenience store, while Lily's player is Yuta Sakurai, the office worker for whom Moriko starts falling. And even earlier than that, Moriko and Sakurai were best friends in another MMO, which Sakurai realizes when Moriko makes an alt based on her character from the older game.

It's A Small Net After All / int_8dfbdff2	comment	Law & Order tended to zigzag this, sometimes averting it and other times playing it straight, which is understandable since that show was on the air when the public Internet was new and scriptwriters had no more idea of its powers and limitations than anyone else did. An example of "playing it straight": in an early episode, detectives discover the identity of a hacker because his screen name is "SlapShot" and the suspect is an NY Rangers hockey fan. Apparently, only one hockey fan in all of Manhattan had a computer with Internet access (no jokes about the actual number of hockey fans in Manhattan or in the American general public, please). An aversion: in a much later episode, a company that used the Internet to gather information on people did exactly that for a client who later murdered the woman he asked the company to find. DA Jack McCoy goes after the company on the grounds that they were negligent by not checking out the client's background - if they had, they would have discovered his criminal record. To prove his point, McCoy uses a competitor company to dig up emails that showed the company's CEO knew the risks of his carelessness and decided to bury it.

It seems that walkthrough sites don't exist on the CSI-universe Internet. Similarly, there's no such thing as a Save Point or Checkpoint, since they had to start the game over from the beginning every time they lost.

So apparently no pages on the in-film Internet contain either the words "Wesley" or "Gibson"... However, before the character in question takes a level in badass, his own daydreams insult him; for example, when he checks his bank balance at an ATM, the machine itself calls him a loser via its text display. The terribly demoralizing Google search could just be another instance of this.

("Doctor blue box" is apparently specific enough, though.) This search in real life will result in results for the series. (Incidentally, as of 2016, the first result on Google for a search regarding "The Doctor" brings up Wikipedia's page on Doctor Who and four out of the top ten results are related to the series.) Appropriately, if you did type "Doctor Blue Box" into google at the time, then the first result was the official defictionalized version of Clive's "Who is Doctor Who?" website, before The BBC dropped all its in-Whoniverse websites. In the same season, a Dalek, in the span of about two minutes at most, downloads the entire internet through a single computer monitor it just smashed its plunger into. Equally implausibly, it drains power from the entire West Coast of the United States through that same broken monitor. There's also the assumption that Everything Is Online, since the Dalek uses the lack of any information on Daleks as proof that its people are gone.

It's A Small Net After All / int_e293455a	comment	Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Averted a couple of times. (No way to know whether this was an accurate number at the time, but it's sure as hell a lot bigger now.) Played straight in the first-season episode "I Robot, You Jane", when Buffy consults a computer geek who informs her that anytime you have an e-mail address to start from, "you can pull up someone's profile based on their user name". Although this may have been slightly more likely to be true in 1997 than it is today.

It's A Small Net After All / int_e8cd02cd	comment	Though Hypnospace Outlaw centers around a very realistic alternet with hundreds of unique pages, that still pales in comparison to the real-world Internet even in the game's setting of 1999. It's justified by your occupation as a Hypnospace Enforcer, as you only have access to assigned "zones" representing a small portion of Hypnospace's true size.

It's A Small Net After All / int_ee384546	comment	Justified in Cyberpunk 2077, in keeping with its Cassette Futurism aesthetic. The internet as we know it was destroyed in the Corporate Wars as increasingly sophisticated viruses rendered it inoperable, and the Night City web you get to explore in-game is limited to just a small, carefully curated handful of sites that are closed off from the broader Net to prevent computers that access them (which, in this game, include your cybernetic implants) from being rendered inoperable or worse. Some characters read darker motives into this, suggesting that the fragmentation of the Net was done in order to censor it and exercise social control.

It's A Small Net After All / int_f0a86c12	comment	How I Met Your Mother pushes this a bit, with websites and domain names set up with apparent ease. A timer-based countdown to a date isn't so implausible, even if the characters haven't mentioned any specific knowledge of how computers work, but setting up an online shop overnight seems a little bit dodgy.

It's A Small Net After All / int_f4528946	comment	Scarlett Thomas's The End of Mr. Y had this as a minor plot point: When Ariel Manto bought the box full of books, the salesperson blogged about her. This posting is immediately indexed by a search engine and used by the antagonists to locate her. Also the amount of hits for the title of the book is strangely low and irrelevant links seem to be missing.

It's A Small Net After All / int_fa450b74	comment	Carrie subverts this. When Carrie does a search for "miracles" so that she could learn about her psychic powers, she has to dig through a bunch of results that have nothing to do with what she's looking for (including a site advertising "miracle underwear"). Still, she's able to find the information she needs without having to go to the second page.
