Hey, I think that the proper analog for the
ARPANET is the Internet, rather than the
WWW. While the definitions of what is exactly each is and isn’t might be a little ambiguous, both
ARPANET and the Internet are (forgive me if I’m covering ground you’re familiar with) systems that let you send data from computer to computer, and don’t themselves specify the format or meaning of the data. The WWW is an application built on top of the Internet, consisting of a bunch of technologies, like browsers, HTML, web servers, etc, that’s there so people can see and do stuff on their browsers. It’s higher level than the Internet. So I think Internet is the right analog.
