No. The web is NOT arpanet. This is an American-centric lie, like saying apple/Steve Jobs invented the mouse. The web was invented in Zurich by an English man in 89.

Saying arpanet is the web is like saying Minitel clients are personal computers. Yes, the underlying tech is basically the same, but the design and philosophy is different.

you are being dishonest in your arguments. the point is the technology was around for decades before the said creation date. their argument is the tech for crypto has been around for 14 years so if it didnt take off by now, it never well. you are trying to get around my argument by nit picking over details 'what is the web and what isn't', which is a dishonest approach do discussion.

Technology is usually around for a very long time before adoption.
