[Air-l] A definition of the internet

[Michael Maranda]

It's not a trivial question.  And whether people understand just what it is
has very important consequences.

I've got my own answer - somewhat abstract - that it is essentially an
agreement or set of agreements ...  but rather than  offer my quasi formal
definition, I'd like to draw your attention to another approach ...  I've
been asking people to describe rather than to define the Internet as a part
of my Chicago Internet interviews for "One Web Day" ...  there are perhaps
20 interviews on YouTube ... and a few more I havent put online yet... (I
intend to do some more).

If you go to YouTube and search for "owd" you will come upon some of the
videos.
