No invention has received more praise and abuse than Internet 一般用Internet前面是要加the
No invention has received more praise and abuse than Internet 一般用Internet前面是要加the
可是网上有的加了有的没加,用在作文里怕不规范,求正解,麻烦不确定的就不要回答了
今天依旧有很多人认为 Internet 是专有名词,他们的看法是 Internet 应该写为 the Internet （I 大写,并加冠词 the ）,对这些人（包括我）这是规范,但英语的普及的一个结果,是英语产生了 口语化和简洁化的趋向,说英语者的习惯是能省略什么（若不导致歧义）就省略什么,因此在网上你可以看到极大多数人仅仅写 Internet 而不写 the Internet .
我是加拿大人,英语是我第一语言（我曾是英语老师）,依我看,“习惯” 压倒 “规范”,虽然两者都可以接受.
那么,什么时候用 the Internet ,什么时候仅用 Internet 呢?我觉得最佳答案是,正式表达（比如论文,英语考试,等等）用 the Internet ,而口语,电邮,随笔类的短文 可以只用 Internet .另外,internet作为形容词则不加 the , 并且 i 用小写.
我想,会有一天,人们甚至会把 internet 在所有情况下 i 都小写.
下面这些句子都对：
Today the Internet continues to be people's first choice for information and communcation.
John was surfing the internet all day instead of doing his homework.
You are on internet far too much. You should be studying instead!
Internet access continues to be very expensive in many countries today.
至于你的例句,个人偏于：
No invention has received more praise and abuse than the Internet.
