What are you playing at? I just asked myself this question and it made me laugh a little. I'm playing at keeping my cool (especially at work where I was on a short fuse today) and playing house (which I sometimes still feel like I'm doing despite living independently, even when it was with roommates or my husband, since I graduated college) and ( Read more... )

10 points to Gryffindor for knowing that there’s a difference between the internet and the web, and that the former was around long before the latter. 20 more if you can explain the difference between the two. :-)

The internet is the library and the web is all the stuff stored in it. 20 more points? :D

Not exactly, more like...

The internet is a network of millions of computers all linked together so they can talk to each other in lots of different computer languages. It dates back to the late 60s and early 70s when it was developed by the US military.

The web is a way of accessing documents on the internet, and following links from one document to another like a never-ending treasure hunt. The web was developed in the early 90s but started becoming popular around 1996.

But lots of other things that aren't on the web still use the internet to speak in other computer languages, like email, instant messaging, video streaming, voice calls, etc.

But I'll give you 5 points for playing. :-)

Oh MAn....You are giving me way more credit than I deserve - but glad you don't recognize that! Guess I was doing great at pretending to be an adult all those years. And now I'm getting to be the "child" again...just based on how so many treat (or think about) people in my actual age category (what ever that is! because I know I'm much younger than those who can count!) So great that you can recognize the greatness in a child and see the adult there also! Love, Lizardmom

Yes. I pretend all the time. I also called my google-mom. And Sarah keeps me afloat most days. So yep. It skips a generation.
