The web refers to HTTP and HTML. When you say web, and especially when you refer to IP, TCP, UDP, SMTP, etc, I think you more accurately refer to the internet.

- pjmlp 13y agoSome of us already referred to the internet as web, before mosaic came to life.
- craftsman 13y agoYou may be right, though I was around then and don't remember anyone referring to it as the web (information superhighway does come to mind though; ugh). In any case, as used in the post (and colloquial usage), I'd still stand by my comment.
