The term Internet ecosystem is here to stay. In contemporary use the term ecosystem has a wider meaning that just the ecological. It has the specific use as"a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment" But it has a general use as "a complex network or interconnected system", e.g. "Silicon Valley's entrepreneurial ecosystem" The prefix "eco" has Greek and Latin roots in "Household" or "house" and is the source of the name for my profession "Economist".
