Gods and Goddesses

In Greek mythology, gods and goddesses shared control of the universe and were ascribed powers over specific things like the sea, war, love, etc., which is a different model than the Judeo-Christian god, for example, who presides over all things.

If you could create a new god or goddess to reign supreme over a new phenomenon (like a God of the Internet, for example) what you name it? What characteristics would your god or goddess have? Would he or she have human characteristics or supernatural powers, and what would they be? Why?
