/U/x0x7 gets my point.

Do you consider "the mail" a place that you can go to?

Have you ever been to "the telephone"?

That is the point. They're means of communication. Mail in the fully analog era before electricity, then with electricity and analog devices, the telephone and in the computer era, we have the internet.

That is the point.

Actually, your original point was that the internet is a real place.

The internet is intangible. It is not a destination.

It exists as a conceptual constructs with information that you can access (for various purposes), but it is not a place that you can go to.
