Summary/Abstract: The article refers to previously conducted empirical research and raises the issue of the ways the Internet is treated today in its socio-humanistic descriptions, taking into account the concepts of Bruno Latour, Edwin Hutchins, Lev Manovich, Marshall McLuhan and a category of interface. The conclusion of the paper is that all these theoretical approaches may form a paradigm of looking at Internet half as an independent social actor, half the space made by a human demanding narrow approaches from researchers.
