Help for Firaxis - The Internet Wonder

[Roman]

As the new article points out, there will be a new "internet" wonder in Civ 3, but the Firaxis doesn't know how to represent it. Any suggestions to help them?

quote: Hey, if anybody from the team is listening: Here's what to do with the Internet wonder. It should provide a science bonus, but not just for the host civilization; it applies to every civilization that has the "Computers" advance. Also, it should halve the research cost of previously-discovered techs for civs with "Computers." So, if somebody with Computers has discovered Labor Union, that makes it easier for all computerized nations to discover it. (The Internet should make the late game for the harder levels like Deity a little bit easier for the human player, incidentally.)

There must be some Apolyton reference in wonder video, maybe even the Civilopedia text

Internet:

Heres some ideas. Pick and choose

+10% trade in Civilization (this would become a minor wonder. This would simulate the growth of dotcom startups.)
Makes 3 unhappy citizens content (online shopping reduces the need to go to the store)
+10% science in city (ease of transfering ideas)
