Hi all...
I have a hard time with clarifying the Internet and the different
protocols. I want to know how you explain the difference between the
Internet and the Web to non-technical people. Do you say that
1. The Internet is a worldwide computer network and the way these
computers "communicate" is through different protocols (telnet, ftp,
mail, http...)
or
2. e-mail, gopher, telnet, web are parts of the Internet
or
3. do you use some sort of clever analogy? (the Internet is like the
phone system and telnet, web, gopher are like voice mail, call
forwarding...blah, blah, blah)
Just wondering.
Jo-Ann
