At the very end, author finally uses the word 'perceive', which is what I think is the thrust of the article and a better title - am I missing an alternate use of 'conceive'?

"conceive" is also used in the sense of "to imagine something" [1] or "to apprehend by reason or imagination: understand" [2]. However, an alternative like "understand the internet" or "think about the internet" would be clearer.
