Ethereum

Is the following a good analogy?
1. The Internet aspires to be neutral infrastructure for communication.
2. Permissionless blockchains aspire to be neutral infrastructure for computation.

I'm going back on the academic lecture circuit in 2024 (often with skeptical audiences), so I'm currently fine-tuning my blockchain+web3 arguments/analogies/explanations. Feedback very welcome!!
