It's different, but it's clearly meant to be a parallel to our internet. To deny that would rob the show of most of its meaning.

>Lets not forget that the Wired is quite different to the internet
Different in technology, but similar in scope and the repercussions it has on human society on a social and psychological level. With the Internet becoming more widespread with each passing year and the development of the IoT and its integration to more mundane aspects of an average day in a person's life, it isn't hard to see that eventually there would no longer be a disconnect between the Internet and reality as the two affect each other in progressively greater, more rapid scales.

>>148357934
>>148357941
No. The Wired might serve as an analogy on some level but internally it is CERTAINLY different. There is an internet in Lain. What the Wired does is it connects the information processing of the internet with the subconscious of humans. It's effectively a technological manifestation of collective unconscious.
Lain, is a program born of this weird communion of human thought. She is then made manifest as a 'real girl'. The ultimate Neoteny, true Lain is the aggregate of humanities subconscious and consciousness. When she comes to understand herself and her relation to the Wired she ascends to another plane which 'has more information' than the Wired could store and her weird spirit Dad.
Poorly written because I am dead tired but rewatch it and tell me Lain is just a computer program who can somehow resurrect people via the Wired.
Also pay attention to all it's references to present, past and future.

From what I got from it wired lain was always good with computers but physical lain didn't know that.

Maybe one of the reasons physical lain was created was for wired lane to know what it felt like to no be connected but as physical lain developed connections with Alice she started to merge with wired lain.

Demo is the only anime guy on tubes worth watching, and thankfully he stopped making videos before he got stale or became among the ranks of digibro.

Since this thread is shit anyway I'll sage this opinion and hopefully everyone else will do the same.

the wired utilized some sort of biological mass consciousness to operate, which meant that humans were all connected to it on some level that they weren't aware of.

Like what is going on with the serial killings, if those are in the focus, need to have some meaning and is Lain is some clone or human experiment, at least the possibiltiy is strong with what gets mentioned in game.

The wired was tapping a prior established construct. The only thing that changed was they bridged the gap with Lain. There was no tang. There was no conception of unity. It was all just Lain slowly coming to terms with an over flow of information, physical, digital, Wired and cognitive.
They are inherently different stories centred around inherently different things.
