Wednesday, April 30. 2008The WWW turned fifteen![]() ...and this is a good opportunity to spread some common smattering yet another time among the headlines. In all clearness: The WWW is no synonym for the internet! The WWW is that hypertext thing you view with your web browser. No, internet pages do not exist, these are web pages. Yes, Internet Explorer is just a bad name. The WWW is part of the internet, like e-mail, FTP, IRC, the usenet or P2P networks. The WWW turned fifteen, not the internet. Tim Berners-Lee invented the WWW, and not the internet. A certain science magazine spread this common ignorance on TV. Shame on them!
