interweb

The digital realm

Interweb is a humorous or ironic term for the internet, often implying unfamiliarity with technology or mocking those who seem bewildered by it: My dad finally figured out how to use the interweb.

Sometimes used affectionately for the internet's chaotic, interconnected nature.

The plural interwebs is equally common.
