A playful, mock-technical term for the internet, treating it like it's built from actual physical particles called 'trons'. It's the kind of word you'd use when poking gentle fun at tech jargon or pretending to be baffled by modern technology. Most at home in humorous online posts or among people who enjoy joking about how mysterious and magical the web seems to non-techies. It gives 'I'll ask the intertrons' a wonderfully absurd charm.
