This article doesn't really back up its contention that "Internet" is a bad name. It says, briefly: >Some of us call the whole thing The Internet, when technically, the internet is — as once unfortunately put — a “series of tubes,” or the physical infrastructure which enables digital communication. But that's not true. The Internet is the inter-network: A network of networks. And a network includes the nodes in the network. So "The Internet" refers to every internet-connected host in the world, including the internet-connected software on those hosts. The author suggests "Mosaic" as an alternative name for a bunch of reasons. But Inter-network, "Internet", the network of networks, seems better, since it's both technically correct, and equally (or more) evocative of what the internet is, and should be.
