Well I'm a series of electrical signals being pushed through a copper medium over vast distances. I get regenerated everytime a server or computer receives me and retransmits me. My name is that of your computer's IP address and that is my sole function in life, to arrive at your PC. Except in this case my glorious words are uploaded to the server's address and stored there, which you then access later and I, along with everyone else who has contributed to this page, are shuttled into the depths of your laptop.
I'd like to believe that I am a TCP connection because I am trustworthy and connection-oriented and like to get feedback on how I did to ensure the best results at the cost of speed.
I'm even cooler if I was transmitted over fibre optics at some point along the way, since I was transformed into light instead of electricity and as such I am double as awesome and traveled at nearly the speed of light. Or perhaps I was transmitted from a wireless access point (I suppose it'll be WiFi since the WiFi Alliance has a stranglehold on home wireless networking much like the Goa'uld), and as such I travelled in every direction and went through solid matter until attenuation got the best of me. But I do hope I was transmitted as 802.11n and nothing else, or else that wouldn't be nearly as awesome and my range would be adversely affected. And hopefully I was transmitted in the 5GHz range, because if I'm a lowly 2.4GHz I'd have to battle your cordless phones and microwaves in a never-ending duel. Damn you unlicensed 2.4GHz band!
/awesomeness.

I was thinking of an AU challenge.... What if Earth hadn't re-opened the gate, and then the Goa'uld came aknocking.... What would we create to combat them?
