It's not directly a data store, because any kinds of things lie between the data stores of the internet, and the user... if there is even a data store. Often the servers are used for computations rather than storage.
I also wanted to recommend a good short story by Jorge Luis Borges. It's an absurd dystopia about information theory, permutations, catalogues, metacatalogues, lies, noise, typos, randomness, and meaning. Well, that's what I remember reading into it.
