The Internet is not the Web
But people keep conflating the two. Why?
You would never confuse the street for the store, the intersection for the town, the interstate for the city. And yet everyone calls Facebook, Google, etc. "the Internet".
But yes, I can imagine why this happens. Unlike getting a driver's license, you don't need to study and to pass an examination to connect to the internet. Unlike driving a car, you don't have to actually physically move through the hard concrete to get to the places you want.
The internet is mostly transparent. It's a mediumless medium. The web has tried so hard to make people forget it's all elecrons and photons travelling in wires and in the ether. It's text, just like a book. It's video, just like the TV. It's music, just like the record player. Where is the internet? Where are the switches? And the routers? Hidden, far away from mortal gaze.
Do fishes know what water is? Do they know about the WiFi cable?
