Gather round children. Let grandma tell you of a time long long ago when the internet was young. And how in those days every company knew it was the "next thing" but didn't know what to do about it. This is what gave us the "internet button" ... this was a button added to some keyboards that said "internet" since people wanted a computer "with internet" and if it has the button ...well... then it must have that.
Presumably it opened a browser window or something. No one really knows.

The pizza button was a far more respectable affair.
