the Internet
- The specific internet consisting of a global network of computers that communicate using Internet Protocol (IP) and that use Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to identify the best paths to route those communications.
- 2008, Lou Schuler, "Foreword", in Nate Green, Built for Show, page xi
- [I]f you think the Internet existed in 1970, I can only guess that the education system has left at least one child behind.
- 2008, Lou Schuler, "Foreword", in Nate Green, Built for Show, page xi
Usage notes
- When referring to the global internet, the proper noun was originally usually capitalised (Internet), reserving internet with a lowercase i for the common noun, referring to any other set of computer networks connected by internetworking; however, increasingly, the proper noun sense also takes a lowercase i. Compare similar examples in how the proper names for the Sun (the sun), the Moon (the moon), the Universe (the universe), and the World (the world) are variably capitalized in English orthography.
- The internet, the World Wide Web (the Web, the web), and cyberspace are often loosely treated as synonymous, but in careful usage, each of those terms has a more precise meaning, overlapping in a semantic field.
