The mirror internet

Anyways there is this girl, on  a site who posted something really interesting:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This thread is inspired by the Chamber of Secrets Subplots thread, for more information, check that one out and the MuggleNet link, its got awesome information.

But anyway, JKR has disclosed that wizards have something greater than the Internet. And the theory proposed on MuggleNet is that this thing is some form of mirrors. Mirrors are mentioned alot in the books: The Mirror of Erised, the Two-Way Mirror Sirius gave Harry, and various mirrors around Hogwarts and other places. Now, the Two-Way mirror already works as a sort of telephone, which is why the mirror internet is a great idea.

Like the internet allows hundreds of computers to kind of connect to each other and allow their users to interact, I suppose thats what the mirrors would do, if the wizard internet really is mirrors.

However, is it any old mirror, or do you have to buy a special mirror, or can you put a spell on the mirror? And what exactly would it do?

So, post your ideas, and if you disagree with the theory that the internet is mirrors, please say what you think it is instead!

The fires are connected too....You can travel anywhere in the fires (using floo powder) and you can talk to people using fires too...
