Did You Know?


The internet, small i, are networks connected to each other.

The Internet, capital I, is a specific internet, small i, that connects computers all over the world via a common set of interconnections standards.

The World Wide Web,www, is a subset of the computers on the Internet, capital I, that use software to make their contents easily accessible to each other.

Therefore, while the www is entirely the Internet, capital I, the Internet, capital I, is not entirely the www. (For what it’s worth, the www is also an internet, small i.) So, my question for you is this. If only part of the Internet, capital I, is the www, what is the rest of it?

See what happens when I’ve been deprived of chocolate for too long?
