John Naughton in The Guardian:
Some years ago, I had a conversation with a senior minister in which he revealed that he thought the web was the internet.
While I was still reeling from the shock of finding a powerful figure labouring under such a staggering misconception, I ran into Sir Tim Berners-Lee at a Royal Society symposium.
Over coffee, I told him about my conversation with the minister.
“It’s actually much worse than that,” he said, ruefully.
“Hundreds of millions of people now think that Facebook is the internet.”
