Good. That guy is wrong. What made DS9 more "adult" and deeper than the other treks is the counter didn't reset at the end of the episode. Actions had consequences.

I understand why some people like the safety of "new episode/new story" storyline were you can just jump into an episode without seeing the previous episode, but it's seriouly cheapens the characters. DS9 was the only one to have serious character depth because it didn't limit itself to this.

How did the other inmates treat you? Did they know you are innocent?

To be technical, information transmitted over http or https.

To be very very simple. Web = Web pages. The internet, email, chat rooms, file sharing all existed before tim invented Web pages as a cool way to look at and share information. The internet existed when he was still a child.

You know the way you can play people over the Internet on xbox live, talk to people on skype etc. Thats nothing to do with the Web. The Web is something ●on● the internet that Is very popular. That does not make it the internet itself.

For example when he invented the world's first web page, running on the world's first Web server, viewed in the world's first browser, how did he tell people? He emailed them.

Discussion forums like reddit existed on the internet before the Web also. It was just using other clients rather than a Web browser. Same shit, different way of doing it. The Web took off because it was simple to set up and also he released it for Free. Meaning anyone on the internet could download a web server and create their own site for free if they wanted. It started off very simple, just text and no user generated content. So it's main use was for people to email each other links to read their essays/thoughts instead of attaching a word processing document that you had no idea if they could even read it because they might not have that word processor installed.

It made it easy for average joe soaps to publish content on the already existing internet

The world wide web is a service that provides webpages - people connect to these webpages over the internet. Skype is a service that provides voice communication over the internet. People connect to each other using skype over the internet. Skype is not the internet.

The internet is the internet. For the world wide web to even work the internet has to exist, which it did, for decades before the world wide web. Its something you like to use on the internet, its not the internet itself.

The same way some people only use the internet to play on xbox live. Does that make xbox live the internet? No, of course not. Xbox live isn't even a webpage, so if the www was the internet, how the fuck is xbox live on it? Or your mobile apps on it?

Its just a thing on the internet. Like the skype app on your phone or on your computer, like xbox live, like billions of things. It just so happens to be the most popular thing on the internet.

Confusing the world wide web for the internet is like some kid who only uses the internet to chat on whatsapp, and him coming to the conclusion that whatsapp must be the internet.
