In the chat app comparison, your cousin Alice is the driver. Saying that the roads are the network is like saying the internet is the network.

- function_seven 10y agoBut Alice is NOT the driver. Alice is whatever destination I want to get to. And any taxi company will be able to get me there. > Saying that the roads are the network is like saying the internet is the network. Fair enough.
- xapata 10y agoNot every taxi company is willing to pick you up in a reasonable time frame and take you wherever you want to go. In many cities, on many occasions, I have had significant trouble hailing or calling for a cab. Further, I've often had them (illegally) refuse to take me to my desired destination. Uber and Lyft are wonderful, because the drivers show up and don't complain about where you're going.
